Bleeker Street (Live) Lyrics
Previously unreleased demo from March 1964
The final version was released on Wednesday morning

M
Bleecker street
Fog's rollin' in off the east river bank
Like a shroud
It covers bleeker street
Fills the alleys where men sleep
Hides the shepherd from the sheep
Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On bleeker street
A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy
Holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On bleeker street
I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustainin'
It's a long road to canaan
On bleeker street
Bleeker street
