Margot Street

We're only a short stone's throw away
From Margot Street again and we'll
Walk the dogs on watered lawns
And recycle things for what we want
But what's to want once we're back
On Margot Street again

There's a place in our minds where the cars roll by
Like honey, slowly rolling
Cracks of dawn and grackles' songs
Are the only sound of the early morning
Then Margot's outside mowing the whole block long
She's dressed to tan
You can feel the tan
And the burning eyes
Of the neighbor man
But even the women will smile then
On Margot Street againWe're only a short stone's throw away
From Margot Street again and we'll

We're only a short stone's throw away
From Margot Street again and we'll
Hop along all the patterns drawn
By the hopscotch chalk and the children's songs
It won't was off, but what's to wash
On Margot Street again

Along the street
You'll hear the beat
Of the children's feet forever playing
Taunting fools
Like me and you who'll
Believe the rules we are forever fading
And if ever someone comes to change the game
Fools we all can hop along
As if never a square was gone
You stand on one foot and draw your own
On Margot Street again

From observation comes desires
To see the thing's we've yet created
So we sit with watchful eyes
Until the skies have finally faded
Then through the night we'll still be shining
'Cause when the sun falls
Margo calls
And reminds us all to leave our front porch light on
So darkness will never fall
On Margot Street again

And we rock along
To the crickets' song
And dream of things we'll always want
But what's to want
Once we're back
On Margot Street again
