I came down through Albany

I stood listenin'

Ah through the smoke,

the winter light was feeble

Unreadable

a cabbie told me where to go

Ah here a smile and there a look of danger

For a stranger

It was too unreal for me

A cold hand from New York

Cold hands from New York

A voice within you cries,

and need me"

Were taking, none we giving

Or forgiving
Verse 7
A
Children ran and children played
and roses grew in alleyways

I saw them

There were men who lived in style
and others who had died
G
Where no one knew them
F#m
Beause they couldn't win
Verse 8
A

slept and dingy rooms

Or if they lived
