Christopher Cross Swing Street
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
