Lyrics

No Straight Lines

For You

A love song for my wife Cheryl expressed in an appreciation of Manhattan where we are fortunate enough to live.  This tiny island that has inspired so many songs holds an endless fascination for me.  For those who don't know it, it really is just like in the movies, for those who live here, it really is a movie!

For You © 2007, aidan nolan

Fool in an apple tree, far from reality,
Writing a symphony for you, but I know
Somewhere in central park, choirs of dogs’ll bark
Harmony in the dark, for you

Stilettos in the street’ll tap a rhythm for two
And coppers on the beat’ll drum debut avenue
The wind that’s whirling down the block
Is humming “Rhapsody In Blue” for you, just you

Fool in a paradise, takes off a bad disguise
No need to analyze for you, but I know
Down by the theatre lights, lovers who’ve lost the right
Sing away lonely nights for you

Stilettos in the street’ll tap a rhythm for two
And coppers on the beat’ll drum debut avenue
The wind that’s whirling down the block
Is humming “Rhapsody In Blue” for you, just you

Thunder, lightning in the skies that makes him
Wonder, who could hypnotize him under too
For you, but I know     
Fool in a dream machine, wondering where he’s been
He only dreams a dream for you, but I know
Pigeons that fly around, are dancing to the sound of
An orchestra underground for you,

Stilettos in the street’ll tap a rhythm for two
And coppers on the beat’ll drum debut avenue
The wind that’s whirling down the block
Is humming “Rhapsody In Blue” for you, just you, just you, for you.
