22nd Street

Little bare feet

Chasing butterflies

Cute little flowers tucked in hair

I didn't see you there

Old gray road

Lined with houses and trees

It was summer then

With a pleasant breeze

Now everything is grey

The sky, like the road is cold

This street is yours, you can keep it

0.08 I didn't intend to reap it

Typical neighborhood

That was my house there

Now as I walk by people glare

It wasn't too long ago

Only a year

Since bright eyes and blond hair

Why did I come back here?

There, the corner of 22nd and Maple Street

I stop and remember little bare feet

Flowers in blond hair

I was impaired

These streets are yours now

You can keep them

I don't want them anymore

Cold grey streets are you somehow

So I won't show my face here anymore
