1 - Most of the neon
Is missing from the sign
It should say typewriters
But it hardly says a line
Most of the fruit
Has fallen from the vine
It withers so quickly
Yet they tell me take your time.
2 - I’ve been in the city
Most part of a year
I’d rather be
Almost anyplace but here
Life has a strange
Kind of pattern, my friend
I’m a singer in a restaurant
For businessmen.
3 - The Hudson River
Flows right by my home
In the shade of misty mountains
My childhood was grown
I never knew
What it was I threw away
But I’m gonna travel back there
Some old day.
4 - Repeat first verse
