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
