Emily Hurd: SONGS

Children on corners where the buskers take orders.
You wrap your arm around my waist.
Dogs in the crosswalk and the owners make small talk.
You press your lips against my face.

CHORUS
When the sidewalks are flowin and the windows are open.
Then nobody feels like they are lonely.
And the time starts a-draggin like the kids in red wagons.
We will always have Chicago, won’t we.

The weather gets sunny and “Tupelo Honey”
Makes the air so much sweeter than before
I stake my claim to our spot, and I save you
The best seat this park bench could afford

CHORUS

Roll out the blanket like a red carpet. Lay it down.
For the summer that you starred in my life.
Rewinding to the versions of me as a younger person.
Reminds me how we are still alike.

CHORUS
CHORUS
