My name is Jim Lesses, and I am an Australian singer-songwriter who has
recently released my debut album, Sometimes I Wake Up Naked. One of the
songs on the album is, Night Falls Over Manhattan, and is my reflection on
the terrible events of September 11, 2001.
With the first anniversary only weeks away, I have put the song online in
the MP3 format for anyone who is interested, to listen to and download.

Night Falls Over Manhattan
© 2001, Jim Lesses. All Rights Reserved.
Night Falls Over Manhattan,
And angels soar into the sky.
Stars shine down on the city,
As God wipes a tear from His eye.
The dead and the living are walking together,
They tremble in awe at the sight.
Skylines are falling as angels are calling,
And vanishing into the Light.
Night Falls Over Manhattan,
As sorrow embraces the land.
Stars shine down on the city,
As courage and fear make a stand.
Hate is an evil that walks in the shadows,
Dream of a future that lives.
Peace is a beacon that lights up the darkness,
And Joy is a world that forgives.
BRIDGE
Night Falls Over Manhattan again,
And Hope is alive on the wing.
Faith is the essence that binds us, and then,
Love is the song we all sing.
Night Falls Over Manhattan,
And Angels soar into the sky.
Stars shine down on the city,
As God wipes a tear from his eye.
God wipes a tear from his eye.
CODA
Night. Falls...
===============================
There are, of course, many other great songs on the album (IMHO) that I
think you will enjoy, and links to some of those can be found on the 'Listen
In' page, on my website at www.jimlesses.com.
By the way, the album was produced by John Munro who is currently touring
the U.K. with his group Colcannon. Catch them if you can - they are great.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message, and thank you too, for
taking the time to listen to my song. I hope you liked it!
Regards,
Peace, Man
