Текст песни: Walkin' at Night + перевод

Now I live in New York City, the paement’s cracked and the air is gritty

The whole damn place can be one shitty pity, but hey, that’s atmosphere

Now New York’s a very crowded space, it’s real hard to get from place to place

And all that damn cigarette smoke blowin' in your face, and comments on your

rear

But when the lights on the Empire State are dark

And no one with sense goes into Central Park

When the rich folk are sleeping up on Carnegie Hill

And down on 59th the carriage horses stand still

If you look you just might find me walkin' at night

Yeah there’s something so right about walking at night

Now most of my friends think that I’m insane, they say

«That Sam even walks home in the rain»

But I’d just rather get wet than wait around for a train gettin' restless and

blue

And hungry taxis try to get me to ride; they slow down and pull up to my

curbside

But I just wait for the light, I don’t look them in the eye and then I push on

through

And when the bands are loading up their cars

And all the stools are up on the bars

When the gates have been locked around Tompkins Square

And the street urchins dream upon the synagogue stairs

If you look you just might find me walkin' at night

Yeah there’s somethin so right about walkin' at night

Cause when you ain’t got no cash for no cab fare

And the subway’s down way too deep under there

You ain’t gonna find a bus anywhere

And there’s something so serene about that city night air

I had a gig last night, an old friend showed up and boy was he lookin' fine

I said hey let’s go grab a glass of wine or a coffee

So we went outside, he bought me a falafel, and as I munched I thought it

wouldn’t be awful

If I found myself eating an Eggo waffle with him the next day (You catch my

drift)

He said my friends are hangin', they’re very cool

So I went along, but I was a fool

They threw a Star Trek movie in the VCR

I thought if gettin' some means this then this is going too far

And so I said «Goodbye» and now I’m walkin' at night

Yeah there’s something so right about walkin' at night

Yeah there ain’t nothin' wrong with walkin' at night

Hell, I wrote this song while I was walkin' at night
