Dave Hall's "Come to Brooklyn" |
Come to Brooklyn by winter's glow
You know it looks so pretty under newly fallen snow
Come to Brooklyn
Come to Brooklyn, live in my brownstone
And I promise you: you will never live alone
Come to Brooklyn
Live with me on the very same street
Where your grandparents happened to meet.
Come to Brooklyn when the flowers bloom
Come and see the colors from the window of my room
Come to Brooklyn
Come to Brooklyn, walk across the bridge
Climb up to my roof, see from Williamsburgh to Bay Ridge
Come to Brooklyn
Walk the park under falling rain
See the roofs of houses from the windows of the train
And listen to the neighborhood's quiet, mad refrain
Come to Brooklyn, hear the children play
On the streets and sidewalks on a humid summer day
Come to Brooklyn
Live with me...
Come to Brooklyn when the colors change
Smell the scents of Autumn as the leaves all rearrange
Come to Brooklyn
Come to Brooklyn, spend a gentle year
And stay with me, stay with me, stay with me here
Come to Brooklyn
Walk the park under falling rain
See the roofs of houses from the window of the train
And listen to the neighborhood's quiet, mad refrain
Come to Brooklyn
Come to Brooklyn
Come to Brooklyn
