Summer days down on the avenues
a gang of friends, there was me and you
There was Tommy and Marilyn and all the rest
Howling with laughter at each simple jest
Sit on the stairs that twist up to the flats
Jostle each other to let neighbours pass
Down to the park to play ball or shoot hoops
Whatever the score it’s the teams that we choose
Oh I remember that time in the rain, we stood in the puddles, I whispered your name
The warmth was the warmth of embrace,
The joy was the smile on your face
And everything fell into place, it was all right
Or maybe then take a dash to the lane
Where the thrill of the chase the name of the game
Hide in a shed with the moment’s best friend
Together forever, forever don’t end
Sharing it all, even want, even need
As heroes we stood as we traded our dreams
The magic was broken by my mother’s shout
dinner is ready but we drag to stay out
Oh I remember that time in the rain, we stood in the puddles, I whispered your name
The warmth was the warmth of embrace,
The joy was the smile on your face
And everything fell into place, it was all right
Summer nights down on the boardwalk
Stake a place with everyone’s jive talk
Who is the coolest (besides you and me)
At the Pav there is music reflecting the scene
Stray for a moment, slip from the light
Walk hand in hand out of every one’s sight
But who’s foolin’ who, it’s not even a guess
I stare in your eyes pull you tight to my chest
Oh I remember that time in the rain, we stood in the puddles, I whispered your name
The warmth was the warmth of embrace,
The joy was the smile on your face
And everything fell into place, it was all right
All that we had was the time on our hands
Late summer launched the craziest plans
climb to the roof to avoid all the heat
Another dimension, shooting the breeze
City Hall clock with its beckoning light
Would draw us like moths, the feeling’s all right
Choices were weighed on the monument’s steps
blow it all off, crash the dance at the Rec
Oh I remember that time in the rain, we stood in the puddles, I whispered your name
The warmth was the warmth of embrace,
The joy was the smile on your face
And everything fell into place, it was all right
Craft honed across two millennia, not
the undead, the experienced.
The progeny of Montreal and the Age of Aquarius, chameleon transients in time and space, consumed and were consumed, frivolous, rhythmic, the voice of the common in the complexity of the mundane....more
