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
