Harlem Nights

Traveling down the night streets Just to see what I would see Look down the left by the closed Barbershop A group of friends chatting Collapsing the night time by chopping their jaws Going down by that train station A couple dancing their night away By the street light at the corner A graze of wind takes the wet leaves with it A beautiful sight Until broken by the alley across the corner Dimming the graze by a game of dice A fight roaring down the entire alley A body dragged helplessly off the banks A night mixed and tangled by people
