Zephyr & I

Zephyr & I - Suzanne Vega (蘇珊·薇格)

Zephyr and I stand out on west end avenue

Talking about the things that all of us used to do

And the wind kicks up with the smell of rain

And the kids are gone but their souls remain

Zephyr and I sort out our long term memories

Do you remember he says the 1970's

This was a youth mall of america on this street

All of us hanging here like underage cops on a beat

And the wind kicks up in the smell of rain smell of rain

Now the kids are gone but their souls remain souls remain

The graffiti goes but the walls retain walls retain

And the flowers go but the earth must still remain

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

Out on the corner by the fireman's monument

This was the place where all the fatherless teenagers went

Well the wind kicks up in the smell of rain smell of rain

And the kids are gone but their souls remain souls remain

The graffiti's gone and the walls complain walls complain

When the flowers go but the earth must still remain
