| Excuse me, you headin’my way?
|
| Tryin’to find something to brighten up my day
|
| Maybe I could talk to you or you could talk to me
|
| Your eyes seem to call out for some comfort
|
| Is it the everyday racism
|
| Or a pain from deep within
|
| I may not understand now but then again
|
| You could talk to me or we could just sit here and daydream
|
| Say, you headin’my way
|
| Two lonely hearts on the subway
|
| Singin’the blues on the subway train
|
| Black black yes it’s hard and that’s a fact
|
| But I can rise above
|
| When I have love
|
| Here comes the train
|
| Please don’t turn and walk away — stay
|
| We could read some Ntozake Shange
|
| And I loose myself in the book
|
| I escape to my heavenly tomb
|
| Or we could read The Voice
|
| It’s your choice
|
| I just want to get to know you
|
| Say, you headin’my way
|
| Say, you headin’my way
|
| Your lovely black face
|
| Accompanied by some strictly roots
|
| As we venture — it’s just nice to be near you |
