In Brooklyn (LP版) - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

Written by：Al Stewart[00:00:00]

Oh I come from pittsburgh to study astrology[00:00:01]

She said as she stepped on my instep[00:00:06]

I could show you New York with a walk between[00:00:10]

Fourth street and nine[00:00:13]

Then out of her coat taking seven harmonicas[00:00:18]

She sat down to play on a doorstep[00:00:22]

Saying come back to my place I will show you[00:00:26]

The stars and the signs[00:00:29]

So I followed her into the black lands[00:00:33]

Where the window frames peel and flake[00:00:37]

And the old jewish face behind the lace[00:00:41]

Even now trying to get to see what's cooking[00:00:44]

Just John the baptist in the park getting laid thinking[00:00:49]

There's no one looking[00:00:52]

And it's eighty degrees and I'm down on my knees[00:00:57]

In brooklyn[00:01:01]

Her house was a dusty collection of rusty[00:01:09]

Confusion with landings and tunnels[00:01:13]

And leaning bookcases and spaces and faces and things[00:01:17]

Where twenty five puerto ricans manhattan mohicans[00:01:24]

And jewish italian pawnbrokers[00:01:29]

Lead their theatrical lives in their rooms in the wings[00:01:33]

While outside in the black lands[00:01:41]

The violent day runs wild[00:01:45]

And the black and white minstrels run through the crazy[00:01:49]

Alleys while the cops go booking[00:01:51]

And ruthless toothless agents sneak around and there's no one[00:01:56]

Looking[00:02:01]

And it's eighty degrees and I'm down on my knees[00:02:04]

In brooklyn[00:02:08]

And oh I'm back in the city again[00:02:13]

You can tell by the smell of the hamburger stand[00:02:21]

In the rain[00:02:25]

She spoke of astrology while muttering apologies[00:02:29]

For coffee that tasted of hot dogs[00:02:33]

I said that's ok mine was cold anyway and just[00:02:37]

Grand[00:02:41]

Then she lay on the bed while the radio fed[00:02:45]

Us with records and adverts for cat food[00:02:49]

And I looked at her holding my thoughts in the[00:02:53]

Palm of my hand[00:02:56]

And outside in the black lands[00:03:01]

The evening came and went[00:03:05]

And the bums in the street begging money for one[00:03:08]

Last drink[00:03:10]

Are hanging round the liquor stores trying to get a[00:03:11]

Foot in[00:03:13]

And the girl from pittsburgh and I made love on[00:03:16]

A mattress with the new moon looking[00:03:18]

And in the cool evening breeze I was down on[00:03:24]

My knees in brooklyn[00:03:27]
