I saw the city from above
I know what it means
To see the future lingering
As if in a dream
Staring down the avenues
Right down to the park
It vanished out at 96th
But no, did not depart
♪
The rain it came from cloudless skies
Taught me not to trust
The past it came from thoughtless eyes
It told me not to rust
The bronzes in the park they just
Grew a leafy green
To blend in with the trees no doubt
Hardly to be seen
Hardly to be seen
Hardly to be seen
The rain it came from cloudless skies

I know what it means
