Bleeker Street lyrics

Song information

Artist: Simon And Garfunkel
Album: Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.

Lyrics

Fog's rollin' in off the east river bank
Like a shroud it covers bleecker street
Fills the alleys where men sleep
Hides the shepherd from the sheep

Voices leaking from a sad cafe
Smiling faces try to understand
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
On bleecker street

A poet reads his crooked rhyme
Holy, holy is his sacrament
Thirty dollars pays your rent
On bleecker street

I heard a church bell softly chime
In a melody sustainin'
It's a long road to canaan
On bleecker street
Bleecker street
