23rd Street Lullaby
Patti Scialfa

Underneath the swirling light of jasmine tea and smoke
You traced my face upon the barroom wall
And you tried to intimidate me as you drank your drinks and joked
Saying it takes more than clean hands to catch angels when they fall
Well, I'll keep that in mind

Come on darlin', oh my my
Wanna hear my 23rd Street lullaby
Got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks
There's a place for you under my fingertips
There's a place for you, oh my my
Up on the rooftops of my 23rd Street lullaby

Me and you on the avenue on a summer night
Bass and drums and the traffic hums and I feel alright
Well, come and walk beside me, darlin', and I'll take my place
I'm a little low on courage but I'm high on faith
And I feel so fine

Come on darlin', oh my my
Wanna hear my 23rd Street lullaby
Got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks
There's a place for you under my fingertips
There's a place for you, oh my my
Up on the rooftops of my 23rd Street lullaby

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la

Got a downtown heart, got a love so sweet
Got a tone poem and a funky little beat
Got a music box, it's soft inside
And in your arms I come alive
So don't you worry now, say you will
I'll be waiting here until you take a chance, take a risk
I'll take what's broken and I'll take what's fixed

Me and you on the avenue on a summer night
Bass and drums and the traffic hums and I feel alright

Come on darlin', oh my my
Wanna hear my 23rd Street lullaby
Got a bottle of wine, a bag of tricks
There's a place for you under my fingertips
There's a place for you, oh my my
Up on the rooftops of my eyes

Want to take a chance, take a risk
I'll take what's broken and I'll take what's fixed

Come on darlin', oh my my
Wanna hear my 23rd Street lullaby
Come on darlin', oh my my
Wanna hear my 23rd Street lullaby

Come on darlin', oh my my
Wanna hear my 23rd Street lullaby
Come on darlin', oh my my
Wanna hear my 23rd Street lullaby
My 23rd street lullaby

La la la
La la la
La la la
