lyrics

Back when we were cold, Chicago winters had stuck to our bones
Those were the days when nothing happened and everything's gray
I'd ride the train to look at buildings, to kill some time
Never complained, and never felt like anything was mine

We met downtown, a day of protest, of sight and sound
She's catching flakes of snow that's falling, her tongue to the sky
My stomach aches and now I know that I'm in for a ride
That's all it takes, and I'd surrender my property and pride

You, with the clothes head to toe, every guard against the turn of the world---lose the shoes, it's the summer of love come again. We weren't born yet in '67, no memory of the feeling slipping sour...

Then summer came, the thunder rolled, the ozone cried
She'd say my name like she knew something, something I didn't
And I'd ride the train to look at buildings, to kill sometime
She's just a shape, a warm body, and I'm in bed alone

You, with the clothes...
