| [00:12.470] |
Long Beach early in the morning |
| [00:17.400] |
I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea |
| [00:24.090] |
I'm with my little boy, he's not sleeping too well |
| [00:29.530] |
My little boy is a lot like me |
| [00:33.530] |
|
| [00:38.460] |
I came home late from the city |
| [00:43.710] |
I was in the Village and having fun |
| [00:50.020] |
All the queens were cameing out on Christopher Street |
| [00:55.900] |
And a new age had begun |
| [01:00.090] |
|
| [01:04.020] |
I'm in a long line of lovers |
| [01:09.650] |
Who came to New York looking for the Muse |
| [01:16.260] |
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street |
| [01:21.830] |
To pay for her dancing shoes |
| [01:26.050] |
|
| [01:30.420] |
I played the Gaslight and Gerde's Folk City |
| [01:35.990] |
The Bitter End and the occasional bar |
| [01:42.050] |
I played the game of money and fame |
| [01:47.170] |
'Cause everybody wants to be a star |
| [01:51.800] |
|
| [01:56.610] |
I had my share of intoxication |
| [02:01.420] |
I did a few drugs and drank too much Uncle Jack |
| [02:07.920] |
But I stopped in time when I saw the signs |
| [02:13.480] |
When I knew I had to get back |
| [02:18.300] |
|
| [02:21.740] |
I'm in a long line of lovers |
| [02:27.110] |
Who came to New York looking for the Muse |
| [02:33.670] |
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street |
| [02:39.300] |
To pay for her dancing shoes |
| [02:43.340] |
|
| [02:48.110] |
And the Vienam War was still raging |
| [02:53.050] |
They were singing protest songs in Washington Square |
| [02:59.920] |
Too many guys just never came home |
| [03:05.170] |
'Cause not enough people cared |
| [03:09.610] |
|
| [03:13.290] |
And those who made it back were looking lost and confused |
| [03:18.860] |
Was is a victory or a tactical retreat |
| [03:25.170] |
Either way, it left a wound in America's heart |
| [03:31.230] |
To see them sleeping out on the street |
| [03:35.480] |
|
| [03:39.170] |
I'm in a long line of lovers |
| [03:44.850] |
Who came to New York looking for the Muse |
| [03:51.350] |
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street |
| [03:56.910] |
To pay for her dancing shoes |
| [04:01.280] |
|
| [04:05.850] |
Thirty years later and I'm thinking |
| [04:10.780] |
I'm still here and some of my friends are gone |
| [04:16.970] |
My little boy is grown and he's got a son of his own |
| [04:22.350] |
Everybody's got to sing their own song |
| [04:27.160] |
|
| [04:30.660] |
I came back to Long Beach and I'm looking out at the sea |
| [04:36.280] |
I'm standing in a warm summer haze |
| [04:42.970] |
I can see these times like I'm in a picture show |
| [04:48.590] |
New York in the seventies |
| [04:53.150] |
|
| [04:56.720] |
I'm in a long line of lovers |
| [05:02.340] |
Who came to New York looking for the Muse |
| [05:08.840] |
I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street |
| [05:14.470] |
To pay for her dancing shoes |
| [05:18.900] |
|
| [05:23.570] |
Long Beach early in the morning |
| [05:28.140] |
I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea |
| [05:34.640] |
I'm with my little boy, he's not sleeping too well |
| [05:40.200] |
My little boy is a lot like me |
| [05:44.450] |
|
| [05:46.010] |
My little boy is a lot like me |
| [05:50.250] |
