Bleecker to Broadway - Eddie from Ohio

Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street Fills the alleys where men sleep Hides the shepherd from the sheep Voices leaking from a sad café Smiling faces try to understand I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand On Bleecker Street The poet reads his crooked rhyme Holy, holy is his sacrament Thirty dollars pays your rent On Bleecker Street I heard a church bell softly chime In a melody sustainin' It's a long road to Caanan On Bleecker Street Bleecker Street

No point in dreaming if you're alone No point in walking without the road No point in crying without that someone there beside you Saying it will be ok I'll take my time I'll take my time You cannot rush What can't be timed And its tough believing There's someone living out there Happier than me Happier than me We may be lost And gone forever The rain will wash our memory But when we cry We cry together Like it was meant to be I woke up last night from a dream That we'd grow old on bleecker street Sit by the fire and I'd play my guitar But dreams are only dreams And then I wonder when we leave Will the moon still be white And the river green Sometimes I wonder if we matter at all If we're not written down Who will remember now We may be lost And gone forever The rain will wash our memory But when we cry We cry together Like it was meant to be We may be lost And gone forever The rain will wash our memory But when we cry We cry together Like it was meant to be

There was a time I could stop on a dime Forbearance was one of my talents But since you've been around I can't hold my ground I'm consistently losing my balance I'm an accident waiting to happen I'm a mishap about to ensue I'm the toy on the stair The three legged chair The hem that's been caught by a shoe When my two lovesick arms started flappin' There was nothing my ankles could do I'm an accident waiting to happen So how be I happen to you When men say I'm sweet and they fall at my feet My heart doesn't beat any faster But when you lose control It touches my soul So I'm bracing myself for disaster You're an accident waiting to happen A catastrophe destined to be I'm the rags in the cellar A broken umbreller A branch hanging loose from a tree I can see myself jumpin' and clappin' For a man who lives dangerously You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen So hurry and happen to me You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen So hurry and happen to me
