Last Fare Of The Day

Out on the bridge, the traffic slowed The brake lights and the wash Of all those truckers heading south on ninety-five And across the span we pulled away I know it well, this old ballet Finding the flow, minding the sway Catching green lights all the way And I brought them home I brought them home I brought them home in that cruel, cruel rain Bridge And now it's spring, and where's the rain All the wells are running dry And the reservoirs have reached an all-time low And if this red light ever turns If I can make it through the park I'll head uptown for the last fare of the day And turn it does, I pull away I know it well, this old ballet Finding the flow, minding the sway Catching green lights all the way And there they are, outside St. Luke's With their flowers and balloons All amazement at the baby in her arms As Amsterdam makes us a place I ask about her name And we all laugh when he says Hope and she says Grace And then it starts, the heavens give I know it well, this old ballet Finding the flow, minding the sway Catching green lights all the way I brought them home I brought them home I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
