Lyrics and Chords
LaGuardia to Weehawken (or From Grave to Save)
15 Days after the New Year
Taking off from Queens to the Queen City in cold NY clear
Flying in the sky with grey birds that day
From the Great White North they got in the way
Broiled Canadians stink up the cabin
Lookin' down you see Manhattan
Brace for impact, Sully calmly delivered
We're takin' this plane into the river
Back in New York from my home in the south
This is not reality comes from my mouth
Thoughts of loved ones, hard times ahead
When I woke up this morning didn't expect to be dead
Big Tin can bounces along the waves
We're still in this world not the Hudson's icy grave
Presence of God, open doors, sun and water
A dip off Hell's Kitchen with somebody's daughter
Shivering in the raft, Jersey looks fine,
Ferryman comes to save souls this time
155 hearts another day will beat
Miracle on the Hudson, now life is so sweet.
