Early Summer Of '21

Early Summer of ’21

When we felt like it was all clear

I guess we went a little crazy

Hugging everyone

We rode our bikes to the riverbank

Put our bodies in the water

Watched the little ones splashing

Drunk on the warmth of the sun

We took a train to the City

Like we hadn’t done in two years

And we packed into McSorley’s

Just to sit and have a beer

And we waited in a long line

Just to get a taco

And we were licking our fingers

Eyes full of tears

Nobody can tell you

’Til you see it with your eyes

No matter how full up with sorrow

Behind the clouds there was always the sky

There was a singer on the sidewalk

And she had a little crowd there

And she was young and she was soulful

And she was raking it in

And then we stopped into a thrift store

And you tried on a sweater

And I said that you looked pretty

And you gave me a grin

And we walked around the village

Just to see the people

And the day was so perfect

Even though we knew it had to end

And on the last train home

We could still hear that street song

And we were just so happy

To have been in the world again
