PART 1

[Allen Ginsberg]
C
A young man sits on the bridge
After nightfall
And looks across the Hudson River to New Jersey

He wonders about life

And he wonders if he'll ever get old

He sees the lights

He wonders if they are talking to each other

And he wonders if they are talking to him

And he asks if they are

[Arthur Russell]
C
My mind settles down
F G C
On those lights from New Jersey
F C F G C
Why I chose New Jersey to look at, I don't know
C
Well one thing's for sure
F
I'm here to see those lights
G C
It doesn't matter, don't matter, no
F C
Where I come from or where I go
C G
Well what does it mean
F
Those lights
C F G C
I can't resist the thought that they are twinkling to each other
F C
Are they?
F C
Are they?

[Allen Ginsberg / continue repeating the chord progression from previous vers

e]

His leisure hours are spent in a way

That mystifies his younger years
