Carly Simon
Cross The River

A hot cloud was hangin´around
We were a rowdy crowd
Drinkin´beer and smokin´ at the end of the pier
Danny was shufflin´ through a magazine
Clippin´out pictures of a car
To get us out of here

Laura was hounding him to get a bike
Warning him the time was now
Or he´d be out on his ear, she´d disappear

If only we could cross the river
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
The whispers across the Hudson
Grow louder in our ears
Louder in our ears every night

We were all somewhat out of school
Jersey by birth, relaxing but not on a holiday
An appalling amount of time spent at the mall
Not a tragedy, but not exactly the Milky Way

Looking for a bigger laugh, a better store,
A cutter guy, a shorter working day, better pay

If only we could cross the river
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
The whispers across the Hudson
Grow louder in our ears
Louder in our ears
Louder in our ears every night

When Laura and Danny broke up
She set her sights on Billy Stone
Well, I had just split from Jonathan
So by chance, I was all alone
Danny and I got along as well
We spent hours on the phone
Just talkin´on the phone

When I was twenty and crazy as a joke
I went to bed with a broker
When I was broke
I got used to doormen and limousines
And Christmas cards from friends signed by a machine
And woman, they were calling me "Ma´am"
As they cleaned up after me

If only we could cross the river
But something is holding us back
A way of life that´s too familiar
Like the lines are to the railroad track

If only we could cross the river
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
The whispers across the Hudson
Grow louder in our ears
Louder in our ears every night

Dear Laura, I know it´s been years
Since I crossed the bridge back to the Palisades
How are your kids?
Mine are both swell little fellas
Here are some clippings of me and Brad
At a charity ball and a White House sup
I´ve perfected my smile for the camera
Chin is up
I miss you all so much

If only I could cross the river
But something me holding us back
A way of life that´s too familiar
Like the lines are to the railroad
Lines are to the railroad

If only we could cross the river
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
The whispers across the Hudson
Grow louder in our ears
Louder in our ears

If only we could cross the river
But something is holding us back
A way of life that´s too familiar
Like the lines are to the railroad
Lines are to the railroad
Railroad track



Mirror lyrics:


Railroad track
Lines are to the railroad
Like the lines are to the railroad
A way of life that´s too familiar
But something is holding us back
If only we could cross the river

Louder in our ears
Grow louder in our ears
The whispers across the Hudson
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
If only we could cross the river

Lines are to the railroad
Like the lines are to the railroad
A way of life that´s too familiar
But something me holding us back
If only I could cross the river

I miss you all so much
Chin is up
I´ve perfected my smile for the camera
At a charity ball and a White House sup
Here are some clippings of me and Brad
Mine are both swell little fellas
How are your kids?
Since I crossed the bridge back to the Palisades
Dear Laura, I know it´s been years

Louder in our ears every night
Grow louder in our ears
The whispers across the Hudson
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
If only we could cross the river

Like the lines are to the railroad track
A way of life that´s too familiar
But something is holding us back
If only we could cross the river

As they cleaned up after me
And woman, they were calling me "Ma´am"
And Christmas cards from friends signed by a machine
I got used to doormen and limousines
When I was broke
I went to bed with a broker
When I was twenty and crazy as a joke

Just talkin´on the phone
We spent hours on the phone
Danny and I got along as well
So by chance, I was all alone
Well, I had just split from Jonathan
She set her sights on Billy Stone
When Laura and Danny broke up

Louder in our ears every night
Louder in our ears
Grow louder in our ears
The whispers across the Hudson
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
If only we could cross the river

A cutter guy, a shorter working day, better pay
Looking for a bigger laugh, a better store,

Not a tragedy, but not exactly the Milky Way
An appalling amount of time spent at the mall
Jersey by birth, relaxing but not on a holiday
We were all somewhat out of school

Louder in our ears every night
Grow louder in our ears
The whispers across the Hudson
We couldn´t get a jump-start on life
If only we could cross the river

We were a rowdy crowd
A hot cloud was hangin´around
