State trooper
Shined a flashlight
Through a dark night
On the Palisades
Said I was flying
I did not notice
Was just trying to focus
On the time I made
In life and sacrifice
You're just a short ride from paradise And just a slip from your hardest days I'll never know babe
Which way to go babe
I'm just trying to hold on along the way
You were born in mid November The trees were amber
The air was crisp
But darkness fell
On your wishing well
Where you kept your harmlessness
In life and sacrifice
You're just a short ride from paradise And just a slip from your hardest days I'll never know babe
Which way to go babe
I'm just trying to hold on along the way
Harlem River
Moonlight glistens
Watch and listen to the water running by Flash my headlights
Across the state line
Coming over the Harlem River Drive
In life and sacrifice
You're just a short ride from paradise And just a slip from your hardest days I'll never know babe
Which way to go babe
I'm just trying to hold on along the way
In life and sacrifice
You're just a short ride from paradise And just a slip from your hardest days
I'll never know babe
Which way to go babe
I'm just trying to hold on along the way
