Zephyr & I

Zephyr and I stand out on West End Avenue Talking about the things that all of us used to do And the wind kicks up with the smell of rain And the kids are gone but their souls remain Zephyr and I sort out our long-term memories "Do you remember, " he says, "the 1970's?" This was a youth mall of America on this street All of us hanging here like underage cops on a beat And the wind kicks up in the smell of rain (smell of rain) Now the kids are gone but their souls remain (souls remain) The graffiti goes but the walls retain (walls retain) The flowers go but the earth must still remain In spring the tide in Riverside will wash away the cold and frozen River rain will clean the stain and wash away, wash away downstream Out on the corner by the fireman's monument This was the place where all the fatherless teenagers went Well, the wind kicks up in the smell of rain (smell of rain) The kids are gone but their souls remain (souls remain) The graffiti's gone and the walls complain (walls complain) The flowers go but the earth must still remain
