Prayer for Spanish Harlem - Jackie Greene

Hot night Spanish Harlem

Full moon creeping low

I was standing at the bottom

Your blue window

I come from miles just to hold you

Been so long baby how you been

Do you remember what I told you

Still the same it was back then

Still the same it was back then

I hope it all comes easy I hope it all feels right

A dozen different candles line your bed tonight

And I hope its never over I hope it never ends

But when I go I hope that you will want me back again

This world that's all around us

It's for real its not a game

And though hate and greed surrounds us

There's love in my veins

So hush now do no more talkin'

My heart is heavy; it's a ragged stone

All I want is you with me walkin'

Cause I can't walk alone

Cause I can't walk alone

And I hope that when we go they take us someplace good

We can all be kings in common neighborhoods

And I hope we live together 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 miles

I wish that you would see

How time says: love expires

But not me not me
