Written by Sheri Miller
I’ll meet you down in New York City
By the ghosts of the Chelsea Hotel
We’ll take a room filled with secrets
The kinds of secrets the river won’t tell
Lay with me, Rock and Roll Beauty
Sing to me of Bobby McGee
Touch me like there is redemption
The more pleasure, the more we are free
There are no promises at night
But there’s eternity within your light
Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die
Meet me down in the West Village
We’ll pretend we’re tourists again
Pretend we’re in love, my darling
Glimpse the way we were back then
I hailed you like a yellow taxi
Take me home to the Chelsea Hotel
I paid dearly for that fare
I paid with my soul, my heart laid bare
Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die
You said we are the fortunate few
Who have the gift of words set to
Songs of hallelujah-lu
We’re baby birds cracking through
The shells of our ego
Your heart is my halo
You sing like an angel
Angel
Angel
CHORUS
