IN MANHATTAN'S DESERT TWILIGHT,
IN THE DEATH OF AFTERNOON,
WE STEPPED HAND IN HAND ON BROADWAY,
LIKE THE FIRST MEN ON THE MOON,
AND A BLACKBIRD BROKE THE SILENCE,
AND HE WHISTLED IT SO SWEET,
AND IN BRENDAN BEHAN'S FOOTSTEPS,
I DANCED UP AND DOWN THE STREET.
Recently I 're-stepped' the lyrics of the whole song in NYC, tipping my hat to Mr Cohen and dancing up and down the street, to the bewilderment of Times Square's tourists.
