Meeting Across the River

[Verse 1: Amanda Brecker]

Hey, Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks?

Tonight can you get us a ride?

Gotta make it through the tunnel

Got a meeting with a man on the other side

Hey Eddie, this guy, he's the real thing

So if you wanna come along

You gotta promise you won't say anything

'Cause this guy won't dance

The word's been passed this is our last chance

[Verse 2: Amanda Brecker]

We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie

'Cause man, we got ourselves out on the line

And if we blow this one

They ain't gonna be just looking for me this time

And all we gotta do is hold up our end

Here, stuff this in your pocket

It'll look like you're carrying a friend

And remember, just don't smile

Change your shirt, 'cause tonight we got style

[Verse 3: Amanda Brecker]

Well, Cherry says she's gonna walk

'Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it

But Eddie, man, she don't understand

That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket

And tonight's gonna be everything that I said

And when I rock through those doors

I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed

She'll see this time I wasn't just talking

Then I'm gonna go out walking

[Outro: Amanda Brecker, Randy Brecker]

Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride?

Amanda Brecker

Yeah

We're just gonna say we had a great time

Here at the Blue Note all week

Playing these tunes

These great arrangements by Kenny Werner

Okay, it's the last tune

This is a genius arrangement of a classic Paul Simon tune

That I once again had the pleasure of playing on

On the album One-Trick Pony

And this is I'm sure one you'll know

It's called, and it's very apropos, "Late in the Evening"
