Lyrics
There’s a man on the street
with a wide stance and a gun.
He’s wearing a face mask - I ask -
If he has an extra one?

He says not for today
Now, please, step back 6 ft away.
I wish he’d ask me how I was doing
I wish I could say okay.

Even the cobbles are lonely today.
The city that never sleeps is sleeping.

I saw a magpie out my window
I thought ‘bad luck’
And then another came along.
I discard my superstitions
when they don’t work out my way.
I am decidedly Blue
And Blue is how I will stay -

Until the streets are filled with people
Who hug and touch and say “hello”.
Until the only fear that exists
Is a fear we already know.

Not a fear that silently closes
every bar, every public room.
Just bone breaks and cancer
And the usual doom and gloom.

Even Lady Liberty silently cries
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes.

Until the streets are filled with people
Who hug and touch and say “hello”.
Until the only fear that exists
Is a fear we already know.

Not a fear that silently closes
every bar, every public room.
Just bone breaks and cancer
And the usual doom and gloom.

Even the cobbles are lonely today
The city that never sleeps is sleeping.
Even Lady Liberty silently cries
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes.
