Subject: BACK TO THOSE DAYS
IT HAPPENED LAST MAY
I WAS APPROACHED IN A FUNNY WAY
AND HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED
TO GO TO ANOTHER DAY
I LOOKED INTO HIS EYES
AND I MUST HAVE LOOKED SURPRISED
AND I ASKED HIM WHAT I HAD TO DO
TO GET THAT BEAUTIFUL PRIZE
HOW I’D LOVE TO GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS
OF TRANQUILITY AND THE SIMPLE WAYS
HOW I’D LOVE TO GO BACK TO THOSE SIMPLE DAYS
I’D LOVE TO GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS
I MOVED INTO THE DAKOTAS
AN APT ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE
THAT WAS BUILT IN THE 1800’S
AND HAD MANY THINGS TO HIDE
I CHANGED ALL MY DRESS
AND I CHANGED ALL MY ROLES
AND I WAITED VERY PATIENTLY
FOR A DRASTIC CHANGE OF SOULS
(CH)
AND THERE WERE HORSES
MANURE LINED THE STREETS
THE WOMEN OF THE TIME
WERE THEIR DRESSED TO THEIR FEET
THEY HAD NO TELEPHONES
AND THEY HAD NO JET PLANES
THE STREETS THEY HAD NO PAVEMENT
TURNED TO MUD WHEN IT RAINED
(CH)
19 GRAMERCY PARK
AND HER NAME WAS JULIA
I KNEW THE YEAR WAS 1882
BUT THE LOVE WAS TILL THE SAME
FOR THE TWO OF US
AND THRU THE PASSAGE OF TIME IT ONLY GREW
THERE WERE HORSES AND CARRIAGES
AND SLEIGHS WHEN IT SNOWS
SIMPLE ROWS OF HOUSES
HOW MANY NO ONE KNOWS
THEY HAD NO TELEPHONES
AND THEY HAD NO TV
BUT THEY LIVED A LIFE OF WONDER
FOR ALL OF US TO SEE
