New York City 1963

Nodes Of Ranvier

We could have had it all in our studio on 4th street
 Every morning we rose with hope that we could change the world or at least one mind
 The songs came from Harvard Square and no longer were so rare
 The poets strummed their strings at the thought of changing things.
 It started wtih Woodie G and came strong with Bobby D.
 At night the bearded boys fled and all the lank haired girls came too
 To converted sandal shops to hear the words
 They came to hear the words
 They longed for another cause
 And when the next day came they took action
 My beautiful blue collared army
 With eyes buried in books
 you never saw it coming
 The day your cause would come crashing
 Because soon it went pop
 But you never asked for San Francisco
 And all that came with it
 God get us back to NYC, 1963
