I Hear The Hudson Calling
I hear the Hudson calling yes I hear the Hudson call
taxicabs and iron she came before them all
she swallows ever heavy and she wanders ever far
her blood is thick with metal and her jaws are black with tar
well the air gets cold and the river rolls
as you sit at this bar and you bare your soul
well I don't care if you're crazy ‘cause to me it's all the same
I hear the Hudson River call your name
I hear the Hudson calling yes I hear the Hudson call
from her muddy dark embankments to her ever twisting walls
if I were a blind man and I tell you now I ain't
I would jump into that river ‘till I found myself a saint
well the air gets cold and the river rolls
as you sit at this bar and you bare your soul
well I don't care if you're crazy ‘cause to me it's all the same
I hear the Hudson River call your name
I hear the Hudson calling yes I hear the Hudson call
from her narrows and her bridges where her echoes rise and fall
I have heard it said she's magic for when children travel near
they all turn into horseflies and slowly disappear
well the air gets cold and the river rolls
as you sit at this bar and you bare your soul
well I don't care if you're crazy ‘cause to me it's all the same
I hear the Hudson River call your name
