Feels like yesterday,
waiting for the moon
to make the sunshine go away,
surely there was room
for all the games we used to play.
Now we're just sitting by the bay,
looking for a box to put
our voodoo dolls and clay,
thinking that we got it
in the New York City way.
And the time goes
around the faces of the dry rows,
makes no difference if we stand close,
and wait together for the song.
But the song lifts,
like Cinderella, when the shoe fits,
we'll stand together when the storm hits,
we'll sing together one more song.
Times we used to cry,
and our eyes were smiling
but our cheeks would never dry,
silently we'd sit there
with our cigarettes and chai.
No, we never say goodbye,
only "how you doing?"
and " I'll see you by and by".
And the time goes
around the faces of the dry rows,
makes no difference if we stand close,
and wait together for the song.
But the song lifts,
like Cinderella, when the shoe fits,
we'll stand together when the storm hits,
we'll sing together one more song.
