Jackie Greene - Prayer For Spanish Harlem lyrics

rate me

Hot night, spanish harlem

Full moon, sinking low

I was standing at the bottom

Of your blue window

I come for miles just to hold you

It's been so long, baby, how've you been?

Do you remember what i told you

It's still the same it was back then

It's still the same it was back then

And i hope it all comes easy

I hope it all feels right

A dozen different candles

Light your bed tonight

And i hope it's never over

I hope it never ends

But when i go i hope that you

Will want me back again

'cause this world, it's all around us

It's for real, it's not a game

And though hate and greed surrounds us

There's love in my veins

So hush now, do no more talking

My heart is heavy, it's a ragged stone

All i want is you with me walking

Because i can't walk alone

No i can't walk alone

And i hope that when we go

They take us someplace good

We can all be kids in common neighborhoods

And i hope we live together

The daughter and the son

And i hope they'll take me in

When my work upon this earth is done

Well i wish you loved in my arms

I wish that you would see

How time says love expires

Not me, not me

Not me, not me

Not me
