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]
