Zephyr & I (Acoustic Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Zephyr and I stand out on West End Avenue Talking about the things that all of us used to do [Chorus] And the wind kicks up with the smell of rain And the kids are gone but their souls remain [Verse 2] Zephyr and I sort out our long-term memories "Do you remember," he says, "the 1970s?" [Verse 3] This was a youth mall of America on this street All of us hanging here like underage cops on a beat [Chorus] And the wind kicks up with the smell of rain And the kids are gone but their souls remain The graffiti goes but the walls retain And thе flowers go but the earth must still rеmain [Bridge] In spring the tide in Riverside Will wash away the cold and frozen River rain will clean the stain And wash away, wash away downstream [Verse 4] Out on the corner by the fireman's monument That was the place where all the fatherless teenagers went [Chorus] And the wind kicks up in the smell of rain And the kids are gone but their souls remain The graffiti's gone and the walls complain And the flowers go but the earth must still remain
