lyrics

sunset park in the morning time
head over the hudson to the other side

to morningside park
yeah i passed it on my bicycle
as the day was getting dark
riding back from work

across the corner above the hill
the beckoning border, it seemed so still
the hustle and the bustle, the crimson rustle
nestled up in harlem

my friends, they live on 109
one of us mentioned the recent crime
it was there that she was cornered, doctors ordered
walking back from barnard

i'm mourning their loss
i can’t toss how they killed her
took her with a knife
took away her life
the precipice is forming
the more you’re mourning
the mortal of the story

parked my bike on the long green lawn
searching for something at the break of dawn

morning-star light
sitting stark in the skyline
the ninth inning of the night
a million miles apart from morningside park

so beautiful in namesake, so calm at daybreak
nestled up in harlem
