Going to Port Washington
Lyrics
The trees were all decked out in their best fall colors
There was a snap in the air
When you eased down the window
And the New York sun brought out the highlights in your hair
And gently, gently
The constellations aligned
And as we crossed over the Throgs Neck Bridge I had
Something on my mind
When we rolled down the street
In the cool of the morning
I could feel the new day dawn
And somebody'd gone and turned the waterworks on
And slowly, surely
I saw the whole story unwind
I had never loved anyone like I loved you and I had
Something on my mind

- Gonna play some old songs now. I don't know if you - wait a second - I'm assuming a fair number of you moved here and didn't grow up here. Do you remember the first time you get tot his town and you're in the car, maybe you're the first time on the highway, you see all these names you've maybe seen once or twice, or maybe you've never even imagined there's a place where they have words like that on signs. I grew up in CA, [cheering] yeah, and we have streets like Colima, which is probably pronounced Colima, and [unintelligble] boulevard, and so I was pretty taken with the name of the bridge we crossed the first time we came here. I put the name of it in this one. (2009-12-01 Webster Hall)
