New York in the Seventies

New York in the Seventies - Allan Taylor (艾伦·泰勒)/Hans-Joerg Maucksch/Martin Moro[00:00:00]

Long Beach early in the morning[00:00:13]

I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea[00:00:18]

I'm with my little boy he's not sleeping too well[00:00:24]

My little boy is a lot like me[00:00:30]

And I came home late from the city[00:00:39]

I was in the Village having fun[00:00:44]

All the queens were coming out on Christopher Street[00:00:50]

And a new age had begun[00:00:56]

I'm in a long line of lovers[00:01:04]

Who came to New York looking for the Muse[00:01:10]

I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street[00:01:16]

To pay for her dancing shoes[00:01:22]

I played the Gaslight and Gerde's Folk City[00:01:30]

The Bitter End and the occasional bar[00:01:36]

I played the game of money and fame[00:01:42]

'Cause everybody wants to be a star[00:01:47]

And I had my share of intoxication[00:01:57]

I did a few drugs and drank too much Uncle Jack[00:02:02]

But I stopped in time when I saw the signs[00:02:08]

And I knew I had to get back[00:02:14]

And I'm in a long line of lovers[00:02:22]

Who came to New York looking for the Muse[00:02:27]

I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street[00:02:34]

To pay for her dancing shoes[00:02:39]

And the Vietnam War was still raging[00:02:48]

They were singing protest songs in Washington Square[00:02:53]

Too many guys just never came home[00:03:00]

'Cause not enough people cared[00:03:05]

And those who made it back were looking lost and confused[00:03:13]

Was it a victory or a tactical retreat[00:03:19]

Either way it left a wound in America's heart[00:03:25]

To see them sleeping out on the street[00:03:31]

I'm in a long line of lovers[00:03:39]

Who came to New York looking for the Muse[00:03:45]

I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street[00:03:51]

To pay for her dancing shoes[00:03:57]

Thirty years later and I'm thinking[00:04:06]

I'm still here some of my friends are gone[00:04:11]

My little boy is grown he's got a son of his own[00:04:17]

Everybody's got to sing their own song[00:04:23]

I came back to Long Beach and I'm looking out at the sea[00:04:31]

I'm standing in a warm summer haze[00:04:37]

I can see those times like I'm in a picture show[00:04:43]

New York in the seventies[00:04:49]

I'm in a long line of lovers[00:04:57]

Who came to New York looking for the Muse[00:05:03]

I found her waiting tables on Bleecker Street[00:05:09]

To pay for her dancing shoes[00:05:15]

Long Beach early in the morning[00:05:24]

I'm walking the boardwalk by the sea[00:05:28]

I'm with my little boy he's not sleeping too well[00:05:35]

My little boy is a lot like me[00:05:40]

My little boy is a lot like me[00:05:46]
