Somewhere tonight The sea enfolds you In a deep sleep Or an insomniac's nightmare The stormy horizon Reminding you of that shellfish bay That the little boy called home The liquid fluidity of New York Before discovering the sweet comfort Of finding life in travel Simultaneously I drive Through flashing lights Long dark tunnels These once modern marvels Turned rickety crossings Your music a solace Your soul ringing true The magic of all that is you Discovering the sweet comfort Of finding life in your music When I thought it was passed While you sleep soundly Or lie wide awake On the open ocean And think you hear a faint echo Of your own soulful voice From my beloved city Across the barren sea
