lyrics

SOMERVILLE

The couch on the backporch
in Somerville
was damp all the time
in the midnight air
you used to sit
with your head in your hands
in your underwear
a piano was playing
floating up through the kitchen floor

I remember the moonlight
I remember your blue eyes
I remember the magic
you & me
in the Summer Of Love
& John was singing “Revolution”
out of every window

We had such a psychedelic summer
in a big old farmhouse
Toby got it laid on him
by the pilot lady from the Lesbian Cove
& there was a party
every night
+ Patrick got the word out
the acid was really far out

I remember the music
I remember the bands
I remember the laughter
you & me
in the Summer Of Love
& Bobby was singing
“everybody must get stoned”
out of every window

Now it’s a cynical world, with a cynical face,
with a cynical heart, we’re in terrible pain
but I believe in us, I believe in friendship
I believe in hope, I believe in the truth
& I believe in love

I remember the flowers
I remember the feelings
I remember the miracle
you & me
in the Summer Of Love
oh “I could drink a case of you”
Joni was singing “Blue”
out of every window
