WALT WHITMAN BRIDGE-MARAH
Got seven dollars to my name
Got sixteen cigarettes somehow I just ain't smoked yet
Got two shoelaces and two shoes
I should toss ‘em on the telephone wire as a monument to my blues
I'm goin' down to get a coffee
Gonna mean one less buck but maybe six will bring me luck
Got a little shake I kept in the fridge
Gonna drink my bean and walk out smoking on the Walt Whitman Bridge
Far away from these winter streets
On a cloudless day
Your memory
Your memory
Blows away
Got a leather wallet on a chain
Got a picture of my lover's lips before they dried up under my kiss
A prayer in my heart I'm too scared to recite
Oughtta toss that stale loaf of words to the birds as a monument to my whole life
Far away from these winter streets
On a cloudless day
Your memory
Your memory
Your memory
Blows away
Your memory
Your memory
Your memory
Blows away
