lyrics

CLARK STREET
by Phil Gross and Bill Hermann

MORNING DULLS THE NEON STARS ON CLARK STREET
THE SUNʼS TURNED GREY AND LIGHTS WITHOUT ITʼS WARMTH
THE LADIES OF THE STREETS HAVE LEFT THEIR ALTARS
THE BUILDINGS STRETCH TO TOUCH A SKYLESS DAWN

THEREʼS A PAIN THAT COMES WITH WINTER IN CHICAGO
THEY TELL ME ITʼS A HAWK THAT NEVER SLEEPS
THIS WINDOW IS A THOUSAND MILES FROM NASHVILLE
BUT THIS WINDOW IS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE

IʼVE A FRIEND WHO BRINGS ME BREAKFAST EVERY MORNING
A COFFEE DONUT ROMANCE WITH NO STRINGS
WHEN SHE SMILES I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS CITY
WHEN SHE CRIES I CAN UNDERSTAND HER SMILE

THEREʼS A BEAUTY HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN THESE TAVERNS
THEREʼS A POEM TRYING DESPERATELY FOR RHYME
THROUGH A FROSTED CLARK STREET WINDOW IN THE WINTER
REACHING FOR THE NEXT CHICAGO DAY
REACHING FOR THE NEXT CHICAGO DAY
REACHING FOR THE NEXT CHICAGO DAY
