lyrics

I called her from Main Street
We were strangers then
I had bad reception
But I thought she hung up on me again
We met at her small time library
I had my small time doubt
My head was uneasy
Her hand was out
She was a Rockaway girl

I needed help with direction
But didn’t want to say
I went to throw my book in the ocean
But then New Jersey got in the way
Everyone’s got their politics
She wanted hers in song
“If you don’t hear that little bird singing
You’ll go into the dark thinking nothing’s wrong”
She was a Rockaway girl

Where are you going?
Who are you doing it for?
What could possibly happen
That hasn’t happened before?
She drew a map from memory
To the top of Kaaterskill Falls
She gave me a picture of her brother
Don’t live in the dark thinking nothing’s wrong
She was a Rockaway girl
