22nd Street Lyrics by Dan Bern

Starting Over

2024

The sun sets at the end of 22nd Street
And that's the street I'm walkin' down tonight
Lexington, Park Avenue, Broadway, that's how it goes
5th and 6th and 7th, 8th and 9th

I thought when I went walkin', I might go head downtown
For a beer or a show or who knows what
But the sun sets at the end of 22nd Street
So that's the street I'm walkin' down tonight

By 7th Avenue, the sun had dropped below the trees
And so, I gotta quicken out my pace
I thought that I might make it to the river
Before that old horizon wins the race

By the time that I reach the end of 22nd Street
The sun has gone and went and gone away
The ocеan liners sing, the lights of Jersеy bling
And somewhere in Nebraska
There's a sun that's holdin' faster
Than the one just disappeared down 22nd Street
