tar beach

lyrics

out on the tar beach, out of the city's reach,
i sit alone but i know the sounds below
have something to teach
& i hope to learn it well
take the skyscrapers counsel.
upon the sword i fell
in the echo chamber of the heart.
out on the sidewalk
people just walk around in shock.
i was a part of that steaming mass,
our eyes would lock each time we'd pass
& i hope to love you well,
make it worth your while.
upon the sword i fell,
in the subway station of the cross.
out on the tar beach
thunderclouds make their speech
electric guitar hum.
rain that falls like hands on a drum
& i hope to play it well.
any day now i'll meet you
there under your magic spell
all the bells will be ringing out.
