Prayer For Spanish Harlem by Jackie Greene
Prayer For Spanish Harlem lyrics
Hot night, spanish harlem
Full moon, sinking low
I was standing at the bottom
Of your blue window
I come for miles just to hold you
It's been so long, baby, how've you been?
Do you remember what i told you
It's still the same it was back then
It's still the same it was back then
And i hope it all comes easy
I hope it all feels right
A dozen different candles
Light your bed tonight
And i hope it's never over
I hope it never ends
But when i go i hope that you
Will want me back again
'cause this world, it's all around us
It's for real, it's not a game
And though hate and greed surrounds us
There's love in my veins
So hush now, do no more talking
My heart is heavy, it's a ragged stone
All i want is you with me walking
Because i can't walk alone
No i can't walk alone
And i hope that when we go
They take us someplace good
We can all be kids in common neighborhoods
And i hope we live together
The daughter and the son
And i hope they'll take me in
When my work upon this earth is done
Well i wish you loved in my arms
I wish that you would see
How time says love expires
Not me, not me
Not me, not me
Not me
