Underneath the swirling light of jasmine tea and smoke

you traced my face up on the barroom wall

and you tried to intimidate me as you drank your drinks and joked

saying it takes more than clean hands to catch angels when they fall

Well I'll keep that in mind

Come on darlin' oh my my

come and hear my 23rd Street lullaby

got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks

there's a place for you under my fingertips

there's a place for you, oh my my

up on the rooftops of my 23rd Street lullaby

Me and you on the avenue, on a summer night

bass and drums and the traffic hums and I feel all right

Well come and walk beside me darlin' and I'll take my place

I'm a little low on courage, but I'm high on faith

and I feel so fine

Come on darlin', oh my my

come and hear my 23rd Street lullaby

got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks

there's a place for you under my fingertips

there's a place for you, oh my my

up on the rooftops of my 23rd Street lullaby

sha la la la la la la la

sha la la la

sha la la la la la la la

sha la la la

Got a downtown heart, got a love so sweet

got a tone poem and a funky little beat

got a music box, it's soft inside

and in your arms I come alive

so don't you worry now, say you will

I'll be waiting here until you take a chance, take a risk

I'll take what's broken and I'll take what's fixed

Me and you on the avenue, on a summer night

bass and drums and the traffic hums, and I feel all right

Come on darlin', oh my my

Come and hear my 23rd Street lullaby

got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks

there's a place for you under my fingertips

there's a place for you, oh my my

up on the rooftops of my eyes

want to take a chance, take a risk

I'll take what's broken and I'll take what's fixed

I can't hear you

Let me hear you

my 23rd Street lullaby
