Take Some Time

On the East River’s waterway looking over the Hudson Bay Under Brooklyn’s “Welcome” neon sign passing some time away Drivers on the B.Q.E. stuck in the red light car brake haze Commuters inching their way back home in a worker zombie traffic daze (Chorus) Take some time to step aside and let the world pass on by Take the time to realign and to be with the ones you love Manhattan’s glazed canyon walls are sidewalk scene reflections Murals of the myriads rushing in every which way directions On a web of interconnections the rhythm of riding subway rails The crush moves toward their destination: the weekend furlough from rush hour hell (Chorus) Take some time to step aside and let the world pass on by Take the time to realign and to be with the ones you love Sitting on the promenade you glow with the lights on the bay Slowly sipping our fine red wine enjoying some time away
