Lou Reed: Reed the Lyrics

LOU REED looked out of his seventh floor window down onto six floors of other people’s windows. He asked what the weather was like outside. It was as if we inhabited completely different worlds and had by chance met in this hotel room. I explained that it was nice out there. It was sunny yet cold. It was good for the time of year. "Does it snow in London?" he asked. I told him that it did, and he remarked that New York also has snow.
