in free space
Sound dissipates
As a proportion to the square of the distance from the source
But near an arched surface
The sound has different plans
Proportionally dissipating from the source at hand

Which means it dissipates much slower
And I can sing quiet over here
And over there the camera picks it up
Totally loud and clear

Whispering waves
Whispering gallery
Guastavino tiles
Here in the Grand Central Terminal
Come and whisper for a while

Raphael Guastavino
Game to New York City from Barcelona
He and his son came through Ellis Island
And they worked together, not alone-a

Their tile work’s all over the nation
From Nebraska to here in New York
It was big innovation
Now let’s look at it some more
