Valse Sentimentale

[Intro] [Verse 1] Salt on the sidewalk Coffee cup cooling in my hand Breath in the air like a secret I still don’t understand Headlines in the subway Everyone staring at their shoes January on my shoulders Heavy with the same old news [Chorus] Everything will pass And spring will come to New York Bloom out of the cracks In the pavement where we walk I’ll meet you on the corner Under branches growing wild Everything will pass And spring will come Will come to this town [Interlude] [Verse 2] Snow on the brownstones Fire escape rusted and gray But I keep a worn-out postcard Of green trees in early May [Bridge] You said “Hold on a little” As the wind chased down the Ave “Even broken concrete Learns a softer way to have” [Chorus] Everything will pass And spring will come to New York Bloom out of the cracks In the pavement where we walk I’ll meet you on the corner Under branches growing wild Everything will pass And spring will come Will come to this town [Outro]
