The Hudson - Dar Williams[00:00:00]
If we're lucky[00:00:05]
We feel our lives know[00:00:07]
When the next scene arrives[00:00:09]
So often we start in the middle[00:00:11]
And work our way out[00:00:14]
We go to some gray sky diner[00:00:16]
For eggs and toast[00:00:18]
New York Times or the New York Post[00:00:20]
Then we take a ride through[00:00:23]
The valley of the shadow of death[00:00:24]
But even for us New Yorkers[00:00:28]
There's a time in every day[00:00:35]
The river takes our breath away[00:00:41]
And the Hudson[00:00:45]
It holds the life[00:00:51]
We thought we did it on our own[00:00:55]
The river roads collect the tolls[00:01:03]
For the passage of our souls[00:01:05]
Through silence[00:01:08]
Over woods[00:01:09]
Through flowers and snow[00:01:10]
And past the George Washington Bridge[00:01:14]
Down from the trails of Breakneck Ridge[00:01:17]
The river's ancient path[00:01:20]
Is sacred and slow[00:01:22]
And as it swings through Harlem[00:01:25]
It's every shade of blue[00:01:33]
Into the city of the new brand new[00:01:38]
And the Hudson yeah[00:01:42]
It holds the life[00:01:48]
We thought we did it on our own[00:01:52]
I thought I had no sense of place or past[00:01:59]
Time was too slow[00:02:06]
But then too fast[00:02:09]
The river takes us home at last[00:02:13]
Where and when[00:02:26]
Does the memory take hold[00:02:27]
Mountain range in the Autumn cold[00:02:29]
And I thought West Point[00:02:31]
Was Camelot in the spring[00:02:33]
If you're lucky you'll find something[00:02:37]
That reflects you[00:02:39]
Helps you feel your life protects you[00:02:40]
Cradles you[00:02:43]
And connects you to everything[00:02:44]
This whole life I remember[00:02:48]
As they begged them to itself[00:02:55]
Never turn me into someone else[00:03:01]
And the Hudson yeah[00:03:05]
It holds the life[00:03:11]
We thought we did it on our own[00:03:15]
And the Hudson yeah[00:03:22]
Holds the life[00:03:28]
We thought we did it on our own[00:03:32]
