AMY from "PIERRE" by George Sand

IT'S SO EASY AMY
LIVING IN NEW YORK
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE YOUR FRIENDS
WHEN YOU'RE TIRED FROM WORK
YOU HAVE TO PAY THE FARE
YOU SAY NOBODY CARES
BUT THERE ARE THOSE THAT DO
SHE ASKED ME ABOUT YOU
YOU SAW THE SUN ON HUDSON AGAIN
FACES PAINTED GREEN BY WINDOW OF TRAIN

ONCE THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN MOSES HELPED A SLAVE
HE GOT SOME FREEDOM
BY BEING SO BRAVE
UNLIKE MANY CAN
HE TRIED TO MAKE AMENDS
TO KEEP PEOPLE ALIVE
AND TO HELP OUT HIS TRIBE
ONE TIME HE HEARD A VOICE
HE HEARD THAT VOICE AGAIN
AND WHEN HE HEARD IT THRICE
IT SPOKE THROUGH A FLAME

ONE TIME I SAW YOU
WHISPER HELLO
ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM
TO ONE YOU DID NOT KNOW
DANIEL DERONDA
GWENDOLYN IN GREEN DRESS
THE NIGHT OF THE NECKLACE
SHE NEVER WAS THE SAME
SHE CAUGHT THE MORNING TRAIN
HE THOUGHT HE WAS TO BLAME
OFTEN DAN WOULD THINK
BACK ON GWEN AGAIN
