December New York Morning

by David Gilfix

I tried to paint a picture-in-song of the New York City Village, where I lived in the 80's and early 90's.

vocal harmony - Julie Hardy
recorded/produced by Roger Christie at Black Cat Crossing Studio.


Sidewalks of papers and last nights coffee cups
Rustle about in icy wind, and
Wrapped-up in blankets asleep at my doorstep, their
Bottle is empty - and I walk soft around them, it’s

Just another December New York morning

The Sunday streets, so quiet it’s eerie,
And I drinking coffee, stroll on down 6th Street
Past Indian restaurants to Moiches Bakery.

    Now those years they have gone,
    And like an old song that you never turn on
    I stayed away,
    But sometimes that melody plays, and
    Even today I know it’s
    Always been part of me.

The Polish waitress scribbles my order, the
Times music section is spread ‘cross my table,
I’m reading about concerts at Avery Fisher
“The technique was perfect, the style was awful,” it’s

Just another December New York morning

The snow falls soft against my window,
The challah French toast and the murmur of people,
She whispers him something and now he’s smiling.

A homeless old man with ten dogs beside him
Sifts through the garbage, in the village he’s legend,
The dogs are his family and they will protect him
And as I pass the snow keeps falling, it’s

Just another December New York morning

The all-night cigar shop is open for magazines,
The places to travel look so bright today,
When on my shoulder I dream her hand on me,
I turn and look – but the dream’s gone away.

    Now those years they have gone,
    And like an old song that you never turn on
    I stayed away,
    But sometimes that melody plays, and
    Even today I know it’s
    Always been part of me.

Jennifer
by David Gilfix

vocal harmony, Hal Katzman
recorded/produced by Roger Christie at Black Cat Crossing Studio.


Jennifer, you
Always do
What your heart believes,
You go your way
Every day,
Only you can see.

I wonder why
You would try
After all this time,
You never pour
‘Til you’re sure
That you like the wine.

Jennifer now
Tell me how
I can find my way,
Through all the screens
To your dreams
That you hide away.

You, like the wind,
Have always been
Someplace by the sea,
You take your time,
Like good wine,
Like a symphony.
