114th Street Lyrics

I was sitting on the fire escape

When I noticed across the alleyway

A dark haired girl with chestnut eyes

Watching me so I strummed the strings and sang into the night

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Are you lonely just like me

Do you have romantic dreams

Come take a walk with me

Right along 114th Street

She smiled at me and I thought I had it made

But she stood up went in and pulled down the shade

What a fool I thought I was sitting with my guitar

Nothing to lose so I'll just be alone and sing at the stars

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Are you lonely just like me

Do you have romantic dreams

Come take a walk with me

Right along 114th Street

Her lights went on I tuned back in

She walked outside with a violin

She drew her bow and struck her first note

I strummed along and we sang this tune that we both know

Are you lonely just like me

Do you have romantic dreams

Come take a walk with me

Right along 114th Street

She whispered in waves across the moonlight

Said meet me outside on this New York City night

Let's take a walk, oh yes we'll walk

Right along, down below on 114th Street

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
