Legend of New York
Always unattainable
Always seductive
Where sirens will always sing
Where bright lights memories bring

& donning a smart auburn vest
Mr. Robin flew off in a hurry--

Mega city

keeping wife's warmth

noise over the city's roofs
the crowd of the crows

Had always kept his hat on.
One day he forgot
And believe it or not
He also sat on his baton

The City makes me work for them.
Time to sort my trash.
And then they tell me "Rinse it off",
they charge the bill for cash.

Walking along, cold and early, 
under a full, white-lamp moon;
footsteps guided by moonlight
of the Sun that'll be up soon...
