Children laugh (it's summer in Brooklyn),
Mom and dad are cooler than you.
The big red bus - European tourists -
Can they see us here in your room?
We made love in a window and watched it
All pass by not a cloud to be seen.
We could be here, anywhere in the world now,
We could be tourists you and me.
All I can say is the future awaits,
Possibly probably taking shape.
Here and now will be way back when,
We were here in Brooklyn.
Twenty-somethings, searching for something,
Creative kids with ink on their arms.
Summer bliss these beautiful moments
Pass like traffic on and on and on and on.
We made love in a window and watched it -
You and I could be,
Here anywhere in the world now maybe,
We could be tourists you and me.
All I can say is the future awaits,
It's possibly, probably taking shape.
Here and now will be way back when,
We were here in Brooklyn.
And it goes on
And it goes on and on and on and on
All I can say is the future awaits...
All I can say is the future awaits,
It's possibly, probably taking shape.
Here and now will be way back when,
We were here, and we were there in,
We were here in Brooklyn.

Geronimo!

Another road, another path,
Now I’ll have the last laugh.
Autumn came, and not too soon,
Leaves upon First avenue.
When a chapter comes to close,
One more opens up to show,
Another road, another path,
Another chance to have the last laugh.
Who would play a game,
Where the only rule is rules may change?
So I know I know I know...
Guess I thought that I would’ve figured it out by now...
But oh no oh no oh no.
Got to let it in, when the future is calling,
Go and you will grow,
Geronimo! I’m letting go.
Another place, another time,
Now I’m on the right line.
Spring is in to lift the leaves,
And April rain makes summer breeze.
And when you open up,
Listen very close,
Did you hear the door shut?
Such an endless start,
The answers begin with the question marks.
Who would play a game,
Where the only rule is rules may change?
Guess I thought that I would’ve figured it out by now...
But oh no oh no oh no.
Got to let it in, when the future is calling,
Go and you will grow,
Geronimo! I’m letting go.
April rain makes summer breeze...
Who would play a game,
(Who would really play a game),
Where the only rule is rules may change?
Guess I thought that I would’ve figured it out by now...
But oh no, oh no, oh no.
Got to let it in, when the future is calling,
Go and you will grow,
Geronimo! I’m letting go.

Life Size

You would’ve had to be there to know,
It was more than a dream It was beautiful.
Way down the tracks with a view of the past,
The craziest things can appear so matter of fact.
Waking up late, tell the world it can wait,
Planning a life in the face of fate.
With love on the tongue there’s a song to be sung,
It was more than a dream, more than dream...
Laughing out loud, words couldn’t say,
Larger than life, in a life-sized way.
We’re looking sharp and we’re on the move,
Finding our way any way we choose.
Holding you close singing "Hallelujah!",
oh what a dream,
Is this more than a dream?
Laughing out loud, words couldn’t say,
We are larger than life, in a life sized way.
Nothing is certain, nothing is sure,
So many ways in the world to discover.
You and me got a long way to go...
Laughing out loud, there is so much to say,
Feeling larger than life, in a life sized way.
But you would’ve had to be there to know,
It was more than a dream it was beautiful...
