I'm sitting on my stoop
just thinking about the friends I used to know
summers we spent outside
slapping time on our thighs
smiling at the boys walk by
but then a breeze begins to blow
and I know it's time to go inside
but wait
birds fly away
they seek shelter
trees stand strong
they don't falter
I'm walking down the street
the people I pass, we nod our heads and go
shuffle our feet away,
never more than hello
one more we let slip by
but like a photograph I took
one of many in a book I lost
to time
don't fade away
turn 'round
stay for the day
in my town
birds fly away
they seek shelter
trees stand strong
they don't falter
