Cross Christopher Swing Street Lyrics

Swing Street Lyrics

Words by Christopher Cross and Will Jennings
Music by Christopher Cross and
Michael Omartian
There's a place I know called Swing Street
Where you can
really feel the heartbeat
After working hard til sundown
The city comes
alive
High up, low down, down on Swing Street
Gypsy jazzmen tickling my
feet
Jive and music, love and money
There's enough to get you
high
Sidewalk preachers hustling bibles
Longing for one more
revival
There's a truth in all these dreamers
If you read between the
lines
Well, it's all right watching the world come together
A real life
movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down
on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
Morning comes, that alarm clock
screaming
Coat and tie, and wheeling, dealing
I wish that I could be back
on Swing Street
Watching life roll by
Everyone looks for romance
Living
out of magazines
But there's still one place
Where you don't have to fake
it
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
