I live for the silence when the
Snow shuts the city down
It takes the noise of a million more
And turns it into a very small town
I'm on a six floor walkup back it's
A good view from up there
There's nothing like a blizzard to get
You drunk just breathin' the air
Just breathin' in the air
(The East River is calling...)
Gonna take a walk outside
Over to Tompkins Square Park
The dog runs all covered up now
No sirens for there's no cause
Past Charlie Parker's old house
And cross avenue C to D
Even Silence has a voice
The East River is calling me
The East River is calling me
The East River is calling me
Standing on the river's edge now
Watching snowflakes fall to water
I can't believe I'm (you're) gonna be a mother
I can't believe you're (I'm) gonna be a father
I live for the silence when the
Snow shuts the city down
It takes the noise of a million more
And turns it into a very small town
A very, very small town
A very, very small town
