The Last Fare Of The Day Lyrics - Richard Shindell

I saw them standing in the rain 

Out on 7th Avenue 

He held her tight, like she might fall 

If he let go 

He helped her in, he shut the door 

Our eyes met in the mirror 

To Englewood, just take it slow 

Was all he said 

Into the stream, we pulled away 

I know it well, this old ballet 

Finding the flow, minding the sway 

Catching green lights all the way 

Up Amsterdam, the meter dark, 

I turned off the radio 

She said, Thanks, 

I could not bear another word.

Out the bridge, the traffic slowed 

In the brakelights and the wash 

Of all those truckers heading south 

On 95 

Into the stream, we pulled away 

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 cruel, cruel rain 

And now it s spring, and where s the rain? 

All the wells are running dry 

And the reservoir has 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 

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 the sweet, sweet rain
