Another Year In Retrospect Lyrics

Birthday in Brooklyn, my friends it's been so long

This group I've grown away from as gracious as a home

We sit in each others company in that corner brownstone

Distant regrets and distance dissipate in the summer air

Exchanging love and rhythm, God I know that I belong here

"This past year or so has been... you know, I couldn't place it"

Rehearsed lines covering for such tremendous wasted time

I wonder if they see through this disguise

Birthday for the queen, my friend it's been too long

Black curls dance in patterns around your somber head

All past and present desires remain unsaid

And the night comes to an end

Bridges burning bright behind as I cross the state line

The Newark air breathes sulfur as the poison floods this car

My head heavy like lead with the thoughts of what if and when

Taillights scorch the night and guide me back to my ignorance
