no dia vinte e dois de fevereiro passado vi-o finalmente a tocar, num grande concerto no são jorge. sabia que ia ouvir sobretudo as canções mais recentes, mas confesso que tinha uma esperança de poder ouvir esta. fica para a próxima...



my grandfather died
a bowery bum
my grandfather died
the son of an irish man
on the bowery
oh the bowery

my father tried
to find his bone
to his trials i added my own
oh the bowery
oh the bowery

well, I’m new here
where can a fella eat
i’m new here, where can a fella sleep
i’m new here and i’ve got a pit in my gut
on the bowery
way down on the bowery
oh the bowery

my grandfather left
my father twice
second time
was on his wife’s advice
straight back to the bowery

and when he came up
off of the river of methadone
he took his last breath on the bowery
oh the bowery
