Love in Loisaida

from Wolfgang Schaefer by Wolfgang Schaefer

/

lyrics

There's a man on the street selling bootleg dvds
with a wool hat on in the worst humidity.
I'm all out, just brought one.
The whole sky is a gun and you'd better watch yourself.
I said I know, it's been too long since I played anyway,
I don't think they need me, I don't think that they want me back.

There's a girl on the the street and she smiles at me every day like a secret plea.
She said I don't think I've ever
seen a tear stain a face that way, oh no.
I said oh how impolite,
I just don't think it's right
to be so forward,
to be so forward when you know it hurts.

In the winter when it's cold all our eyes are our toes
would it kill you to make a phone call home.
We lose our necks in our sweaters and the collars of our coats and when it snows you know I'll be alone.
And you'll write me a letter telling me I'm better off to be so young without anybody else,
To be so young with all that gray hair,
To be so young,
Limping like you do.

To be so young.
