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
Your lovely black face
Accompanied by some STRICTLY ROOTS
As we venture – it`s just nice to be near you
