nikki giovanni - just a ny poem lyrics

[chorus]
together
together
together
together, again
together
together
together
together, again

[verse 1]
i wanted to take
your hand and run with you together toward
ourselves down the street to your street
[chorus]
together
together
together
together, again
together
together
together
together, again

[verse 2]
i wanted to laugh aloud and skip the
notes past the marquee advertising “women in love” past the record shop with
“the spirit in the dark” past the smoke shop past the park and no parking today
signs past the people watching me in my blue velvet and i don’t remember what
you wore but only that i didn’t want anything to be wearing you i wanted to give
myself to the cyclone that is your arms
and let you in the eye of my hurricane

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
maybe some fall evening after the c+cktails and the very expensive and very bad
steak served with day+old baked potatoes after the second cup of coffee taken
while listening to the rejected violin player
we’ll run again together
[chorus]
together
together
together
together, again
together
together
together
together, again

[verse 4]
and some fall evening when the taxis have passed you by and that light sort of
rain that occasionally falls in new york begins
you’ll take a thought and laugh aloud
the notes carrying all the way over to me and we’ll run again together
toward each other
yes?

[chorus]
together
together
together
together, again
together
together
together
together, again
