Streetlamp Musician

Streetlamp Musician-Natalie Gelman

Flowers and cigarettes on Hudson and Bleecker

Jet black and jet set to anywhere a little further than here

Feels like the harder I put my foot to the pavement

The less of me you all seem to hear

Old New York wont you listen

To a street lamp musician

Singing her heart out for you tonight

Singing my sorrows with a hope for tomorrow

When everything is gonna be alright

Sneakers and high heels, I watch them walk by me

On streets that have been mine but I don't know them anymore

Shops round here changing faster than seasons

People try but it's just easier to ignore

Old New York wont you listen

To a street lamp musician

Singing her heart out for you tonight

Singing my sorrows with a hope for tomorrow

When everything is gonna be alright

And I don't want to die with a melody inside

of my head that the world needs to hear

So I'll keep writing my songs

Even if they're driven by my fears

Old New York wont you listen

To a street lamp musician

Singing her heart out for you tonight

Singing my sorrows with a hope for tomorrow

When everything is gonna be alright

Old New York wont you listen

To a street lamp musician

Singing her heart out for you tonight

Singing my sorrows with a hope for tomorrow

When everything is gonna be alright
