There's a man on a downtown train There's a woman on the iron bridge There's a man lonely in the second arrondissment And a woman who dreams of what love is There's a poet writing from Tel Aviv And from the radio Tom Waits sings Not alone I woke and girls that smoke And the scent beneath hummingbirds wings There is man in homage to his own kind When happiness has formed a tear A woman come laid down his gun I don't know so much but it's the view from here There's a man hauling water from a well There's a woman showing children what it is to read Abacus and clowns and abstract nouns Empathy is this beautiful thing we breathe Man observes Hannukka Woman piles up her hair her dark eyes wild Boy stands to give the mother to be his seat On a boat on the Ganges a woman smiled What's important is your response to life Sunset on the slums of old Tangiers A donkey carries home his wife I don't know so much but it's the view from here Woman transfers her smile to you Man undoes a man with apology Jazz plays and the orthodox prays And a man with a goatee gets a god shot of coffee The books she read and the cool things he said And all the delicious things they don't yet know Dancers underscored by moonlight Woman arches her back and lets it go With a Bronx salute and a dirty Armani suit Anybody want to share a beer Children grown leaving home I don't know so much but it's the view from here There is a man photographing bedouin There's a woman baking olive bread Feel the meaning in the Hadron Collider As we touch each other's dreams in our bed From the glorious smell of kisses To the sophisticated streets of New York The colour of my kind are pages deep So many beauitful kinetic languages they talk And the orchestra of the east and west Take a bow without boundaries or fear Take off your shoes and feel the world I don't know so much but it's the view from here
