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 ¨c 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 ¨c it's just nice to be near you
