LINDSAY STREET

SHE’S WORKING IN THE RESTAURANT
MAKING STOCKS AND CONSUMME
A QUIET MONDAY MORNING
AND SHE DRIFTS AWAY
TO WHEN SHE WAS A YOUNG GIRL
IN THOSE EASY DAYS
SO FAR AWAY

AND SUDDENLY SHES BACK ON LINDSAY STREET
SHES FIVE YEARS OLD, WITHOUT A CARE
AND LIFE IS GOOD AND SWEET
LONG BEFORE SHE HAD A CLUE
OF WHERE THIS LIFE MIGHT LEAD
AND THERE WAS PEACE
BACK ON LINDSAY STREET

SHE IGNORES THE POTS AND PANS
THAT RATTLE ON THE STOVE
OUTSIDE RAIN IS FALLING
ON THE COBBLESTONES
WHILE SHE THINKS OF PEOPLE
THAT SHE USED TO KNOW
SO LONG AGO

AND SUDDENLY SHES BACK ON LINDSAY STREET
UNDERNEATH THE GARDEN HOSE
IN THE SUMMER HEAT
WITH NO NEED TO WORRY
WHAT SHE’D GROW TO BE
AND THERE WAS PEACE
BACK ON LINDSAY STREET

WAS IT ALL SO LONG AGO?
WHAT SHE’D GIVE FOR ONE MORE CHANCE
TO HOLD HER FATHER CLOSE
TO RELIVE THAT INNOCENCE
THAT SHE ONCE CAME TO KNOW
ITS HARD
SO HARD LETTING GO

SHE PUTS AWAY THE MEMORIES
BUT KEEPS THEM IN HER HEART
HER CUSTOMERS ARE POURING IN
THE NIGHTS ABOUT TO START
SHE GREETS THEM WITH A CHAMPAGNE SMILE
AND NO ONE CAN SEE
SHE WISHES SHE COULD BE…

BACK ON LINDSAY STREET
FIVE YEARS OLD, WITHOUT A CARE
WHERE LIFE IS GOOD AND SWEET
LONG BEFORE SHE HAD A CLUE
OF WHERE THIS LIFE MIGHT LEAD
OH THERE WAS PEACE
BACK ON LINDSAY STREET
