And the light crept up between the shutters
And you you heard the sparrows in the gutters,
You has such a vision of the street
As the street hardly understands …”

The lamp is low
Dream and watch the shadows come and go
The lamp is low
While you linger in my arms …”

They gotta stand in the same old place
Hey, hey, so I guess I’m doin’ fine”
