Walkin' at Night Lyrics & Tabs by Sam Shaber
Walkin' at Night
guitar chords lyrics
Now I live in New York City, the paement's cracked and the air is gritty
The whole damn place can be one shitty pity, but hey, that's atmosphere
Now New York's a very crowded space, it's real hard to get from place to place
And all that damn cigarette smoke blowin' in your face, and comments on your rear
But when the lights on the Empire State are dark
And no one with sense goes into Central Park
When the rich folk are sleeping up on Carnegie Hill
And down on 59th the carriage horses stand still
If you look you just might find me walkin' at night
Yeah there's something so right about walking at night
Now most of my friends think that I'm insane, they say
"That Sam even walks home in the rain"
But I'd just rather get wet than wait around for a train gettin' restless and blue
And hungry taxis try to get me to ride; they slow down and pull up to my curbside
But I just wait for the light, I don't look them in the eye and then I push on through
But I'd just rather get wet than wait around for a train gettin' restless and blue
And hungry taxis try to get me to ride; they slow down and pull up to my curbside
But I just wait for the light, I don't look them in the eye and then I push on through
And when the bands are loading up their cars
And all the stools are up on the bars
When the gates have been locked around Tompkins Square
And the street urchins dream upon the synagogue stairs
If you look you just might find me walkin' at night
Yeah there's somethin so right about walkin' at night
Cause when you ain't got no cash for no cab fare
And the subway's down way too deep under there
You ain't gonna find a bus anywhere
And there's something so serene about that city night air
I had a gig last night, an old friend showed up and boy was he lookin' fine
I said hey let's go grab a glass of wine or a coffee
So we went outside, he bought me a falafel, and as I munched I thought it wouldn't be awful
If I found myself eating an Eggo waffle with him the next day (You catch my drift)
He said my friends are hangin', they're very cool
So I went along, but I was a fool
They threw a Star Trek movie in the VCR
I thought if gettin' some means this then this is going too far
And so I said "Goodbye" and now I'm walkin' at night
Yeah there's something so right about walkin' at night
Yeah there ain't nothin' wrong with walkin' at night
Hell, I wrote this song while I was walkin' at night
