lyrics

Verse 1:

Took a ride on the Harlem line/Just trying to forget you
And the bridges that passed/The river still as glass/tearing down a desperate path

Chorus: Ain’t gonna break/Ain’t gonna beg/Just gonna sing this Harlem River Serenade 2x

Verse 2:

Birthdays pass like these quiet, hulking ships/It gets easier as the years ago by
I hate you, and then I don’t/ hate you, and then I don’t/ hate you, and then I don’t

Chorus: Ain’t gonna break/Ain’t gonna beg/Just gonna sing this Harlem River Serenade
2x

Verse 3:

Looking out/ to factories as planters/green reaching through bricks
No hope there—/we’re shattered/ like broken bottles on train tracks

Chorus: Ain’t gonna break/Ain’t gonna beg/Just gonna sing this Harlem River Serenade 2x [2nd time switch beg and break]

Solo

Verse 4

Took a ride on the Harlem line/Just trying to forget you
And the bridges that passed/The river still as glass/tearing down a desperate path


Chorus: Ain’t gonna break/Ain’t gonna beg/Just gonna sing this Harlem River Serenade [2nd time switch beg and break]
2x

4 times (3 and then last one hit and ring with sing)
