Memories

I’ve lived in a flat on Avenue A

With many strangers from faraway lands

Some of them were straight, lesbian, or gay

One worked in casting and one managed bands

We’d crawl the East Village ‘til early dawn

Sit at swank bars like Affaire and Verlaine

Drinking green fairies ‘til the green was gone

Not ending the night before morning came

Our fuddled feet stumbled down city streets

5A for snogging or 7A for food

Alive all night – this city never sleeps

Which fun to partake depends on the mood

Some journeys ended, some still flourish on

Memories will live here long after we’re gone.
