First Snow

Another year goes by... And I sit here watching these leaves fall off the trees If I stay, I’ll never know the cost of leaving But I stay, cause I believe Even though the skyline kinda lost the meaning Hard to see now I once fought the feeling On the same stoop, another frosty evening And winter’s on the way, and there’s never been an easy one And weeks pass sometimes and we don’t see the sun Just a hint here and there First snow coming, you could feel it in the air What a strange thing, to be from someplace Really man, you should try it sometime All my native New Yorkers wanna riot sometime For reasons too numerous to mention here but I’m at the window, feel like a survivor I watch em come and go, they leave reminders If I’m on the right block in the right light Then I could swear they the only ones there And it hits me so hard sometimes I gotta sit down This town, a lotta kids drown Then it snaps back, time rearranges And once again the street fills up with strangers And we earthbound And we earthbound
