	Story Behind the Song For many years, I would Rollerblade late in the evening in the west village, NYC-- a very interesting place. It used to be a real party scene on the weekends-- mostly Latinos and gays. It was a world I was mostly an observer to but I never felt unwelcome. This song is my personal experience reconnecting with my own deepest emotions amidst this milieu. Lyrics Rollerblading on the promenade by the Hudson River Awaiting guidance from the goddess that shines above me like a giant searchlight through the sky I know I must skate faster to become aware of a heart that is numb As I press my thighs into action and the evening air pour into my lungs I’m overcome by a flood of emotion The rush of memories and sensations have come to wake me from this slumber That has plagued me since that summer Now I know that I have found my way back to me It’s Saturday night but the pier is deserted now that summer’s moved on to distant places Trying to find my way back to that feeling that waited so long to be reawakened But my appeal falls on deaf ears as the goddess disappears And I think of her I wonder how she really feels Nearby a man in a wheelchair lifts himself to his feet He leans up on the railing to view the river before him It takes all his strength just to stay in place And as he stands I’m overcome by a flood of emotion A rush of memories and sensations have come to wake me from this slumber That has plagued me since that summer Now I know that I have found my way back to emotion
