I want to wander the East Side
Sidewalks are wider down there
Air hums much louder than uptown
I need louder air
Is it louder there

Streetlights burn warmer on this Ave
They shimmer and burst at the seam
I am chasing a night from my daydream
What better chase
In that warming place

Each band dresses tight on the East Side
Each poet plays a manual machine
I am living tonight
I am hitting a stride
I am draining the sap from the scene

I want wander the East Side
Will you meet halfway between
My place and your place with your shoes on
The hour of your choice
In all that noise

Leave all your worries behind and meet me
Leave all your worries behind and be free

I am dreaming a dream of the East Side
I am weaving today with the past
With each stitch that I sew of this garment
I am dressed up right
Meet me tonight
