Anniversary

[Verse 1]

Fall in all attendant memories

Crowd the day with unrelated histories

Each year leaves its unresolving fantasies

To hang around each corner

Hang around each street

[Verse 2]

Thick with ghosts, the wind whips 'round in circuitries

Carrying words as strangers exchange pleasantries

Do they intrude upon your private reveries?

As they meet you on each corner

They meet you on each street

[Bridge]

Watch for daily braveries

Notice new found courtesies

Finger sudden legacies

As they clean up every corner

Wash down every street

[Verse 3]

Mark the month and all its anniversaries

Put away the draft of all your eulogies

Clear the way for all your private memories

As they meet you on each corner

They meet you on each street

Make the time for all your possibilities

They live on every street
