Snow Is Falling In Manhattan
Manhattan's Winter Tale: A Melodic Brush with Urban Tranquility
Lyrics
Snow is falling in Manhattan
Snowfall is occurring in Manhattan.
In a slow diagonal fashion
The snow descends in a slow, diagonal manner.
On the Sabbath, as it happens
It's the Sabbath day coinciding with the snowfall.
Snow is falling in Manhattan
Reiteration of the occurrence of snow in Manhattan.
Oh it looks like it might be a bad one
There's a suggestion that this snowfall might be severe or problematic.
The good caretaker springs to action
A responsible caretaker takes action promptly.
Salts the stoop and scoops the cat in
They spread salt on the steps and bring the cat indoors.
Tests an icy patch for traction
The caretaker checks for slippery areas to prevent accidents.
And snow
Repetition emphasizing the presence and impact of snowfall.
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Snow, oh
-Snow, oh
-Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Levels rising on the island
The snow levels are increasing across the island (Manhattan).
It shows no sign of soon subsiding
There's no indication of the snowfall stopping soon.
Drifting deeply down in Brooklyn
The snow is accumulating deeply in Brooklyn.
So much joy in merely looking
Observing the joy brought by the snowfall.
Inside he's got a fire crackling
Indoors, there's a warm fire burning.
And on the couch, beneath an afghan
An old friend is resting on the couch under a blanket.
Lies an old friend he just took in
The friend seeks refuge from the cold weather.
Seeking shelter from the cold wind and snow
Describing the need for shelter from the cold, wind, and snow.
It's coming down in smithereens
Detailing the widespread coverage of snow across Staten Island, Bronx, and Queens.
On Staten Island, Bronx and Queens
-It's blanketing the city streets
-And the streets beneath are fast asleep
The city streets are quiet and dormant under the snow.
Songs build little rooms in time
Music creates emotional spaces within time.
And housed within the song's design
Within the structure of the song, there lies...
Is the ghost the host has left behind
The essence or memory left behind by someone.
To greet and sweep the guest inside
To welcome and host guests, embracing them.
Stoke the fire and sing his lines, ah ah
Reviving memories and singing the lines of the song.
Snow
Repeated emphasis on the impact and presence of snowfall.
Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Snow, oh
-Snow, oh
-Snow, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
-Snow is falling in Manhattan
Restating the ongoing snowfall in Manhattan.
Snow is falling in Manhattan
