Bleecker Street (Demo) Lyrics by Simon & Garfunkel

Old Friends

1997

[Verse 1]
Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street
Fills the alleys where men sleep
Hides the shepherd from the sheep
[Verse 2]
Voices leaking from a sad café
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On Bleecker Street
[Verse 3]
A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy, holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On Bleecker Street
[Verse 4]
I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustaining
It's a long road to Canaan
On Bleecker Street
[Verse 5]
Mmm
Ooh
Ooh
Bleecker Street
