paroles de chanson In Brooklyn - Al Stewart
Oh
I've
come
from
Pittsburgh
to
study
astrology
she
Said
as
she
stepped
on
my
instep
"I
could
show
New
York
with
a
walk
between
Fourth
Street
and
Nine."
Then
out
of
her
coat
taking
seven
harmonicas
she
Sat
down
to
play
on
a
doorstep
Saying
"Come
back
to
my
place
I
will
show
you
the
stars
and
the
signs.
So
I
followed
her
into
the
black
lands,
Where
the
window
frames
peel
and
flake,
And
the
old
Jewish
face
behind
the
lace
peeping
out
trying
to
get
to
see
what's
cooking.
Just
John
the
Baptist
in
the
park
getting
laid
thinking
there's
no
one
looking,
And
it's
80
degrees
and
I'm
down
on
my
knees
in
Brooklyn
Her
house
was
dusty
collection
of
rusty
Confusion
with
landings
and
tunnels
And
leaning
bookcases
and
spaces
and
faces
and
things
Where
twentyfive
Puerto
Ricans
Manhattan
Mohicans
and,
Jewish
Italian
pawnbrokers
Lead
their
theatrical
lives
in
the
room
and
the
wings
And
outside
in
the
black
lands,
The
violent
day
runs
wild,
And
the
black
and
white
minstrels
run
through
the
crazy
alleys
while
the
cops
go
booking
And
it's
80
degrees
and
I'm
down
on
my
knees
In
Brooklyn
And
oh,
I'm
back
in
the
city
again,
You
can
tell
by
the
smell
of
the
Hamburger
stand
in
the
rain
She
spoke
of
astrology
while
muttering
apologies
for
Coffee
that
tasted
of
hotdogs
I
said
"that's
okay,
mine
was
cold
anyway
and
just
grand!"
Then
we
lay
on
the
bed
while
the
radio
fed
us
with
Records
and
adverts
for
cat
food
And
I
looked
at
her
holding
my
thoughts
in
the
palm
of
my
hand
And
outside
in
the
black
lands
The
evening
came
and
went
And
the
bums
in
the
street
begging
money
for
one
last
drink
are
hanging
'round
the
liquor
stores
trying
to
get
a
foot
in
And
the
girl
from
Pittsburgh
and
I
made
love
on
the
mattress
With
the
new
moon
looking
And
in
the
cool
evening
breeze
I
was
down
on
my
knees
In
Brooklyn
