I saw the city from above I know what it means To see the future lingering As if in a dream Staring down the avenues Right down to the park It vanished out at 96th But no, did not depart The rain it came from cloudless skies Taught me not to trust The past it came from thoughtless eyes It told me not to rust The bronzes in the park they just Grew a leafy green To blend in with the trees no doubt Hardly to be seen Hardly to be seen Hardly to be seen The rain it came from cloudless skies Taught me not to trust The past it came from thoughtless eyes It told me not to rust I saw the city from above I know what it means To see the future lingering As if in a dream I know what it means I know what it means I know what it means
