Chris Squire

I just read a post on Twitter from Geoff Downes, the keyboard player in Yes, saying that Chris Squire passed away.  This is awful news!  My condolences to the family and friends of one of the greatest musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure to hear.  Rest in peace, Fish.

Start spreading the news
I am leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap

These little town blues
Are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In old New York

If I can make it there
I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you
New York, New York

New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city
That never sleeps
And find I’m a number one
Top of the list
King of the hill
A number one

These little town blues
All melting away
I am gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York

And if I can make it there
I’m gonna make it anywhere
It’s up to you
New York, New York, New York
