I need the leaves
and the beat
of this beautiful Manhattan
city
and I need New York
and all those Broadway shows
right under my shoes
like heavens door
to zip along again
and again
with my top hat
and my cane
on the streets
to walk the talk
with the park swayin life
with me
with all of the birds
of the sky
chasing me
side to my shadows
backing all all of my feelings
playing the hardest tempos with me
and all that's told
I need New York
as my heart floats
and all those
Broadway shows
checking into my heart
with you
again
