NEW YORK CHEER
--------------

6:05 
On a six-hour drive
Snow settles on the ground
In the back of the van
From woman or man
No waking eye can be found

Wondering when we'll arrive
And tryin to stay alive
I pause to look around
The wheels outside 
As they slip and slide
Provide the only sound

The Rachmaninoff
Of van drivers
Sits at the wheel
He's fightin her every
Inch of the way
Man I know how he feels

3000 miles away
Back at home today
you're lying in your bed
I'm sittin here full of
New York Cheer
Tom Waits running all round my head

Then out of nowhere
A song appears
Without the slightest warning
And I realise
As I dim my eyes
That I'm missing you this morning

extra lyrics on 15-May-1999 :

We took with us each
From Misquamicat beach
A stone to remember the trip
We went on to Rhode Island
On Mystic a while and
We saw the tall Amistad ship

It stood proud and strong
As we travelled along
On the road to Boston
The Hibernia that night
Off-stage in the light
I wish I was there more often

Now it's 6:05.....
