It's a cold night in Queens
30th Avenue is one long frozen sheet
In Astoria I freeze
Dead of winter cold has got me on my knees
But I know that evening shadows will meet the morning sun
I know that all them dark clouds are sure to come undone
'cause honey, I'm not feeling like myself
This feeling moves from north to south
But I see sunshine just beyond the way
And there will be another
It's been a cold month in Queens
Out off Steinway they are hiding in their sheets
But there's this emptiness in me
And I can't shake this thing, no matter what I eat
But I know that evening shadows will meet the morning sun
I know that all them dark clouds are sure to come undone
'cause honey, I'm not feeling like myself
This feeling moves from north to south
But I see sunshine just beyond the way
And there will be another day
For me to be set free
A day for me to let me be
In the endlessness the end is this
In the motionless, emotionless
In the empty spaces I can fit
In the sleepless city I can rest
I wouldn't think so many things about myself
If I didn't think so goddamned much about myself
In this stillness, still the people live
In the sleepless city I can rest
