Your Saturday picture arrived, it’s on my wall. I could go right into it, walking down the long street with you. Twelve-pane windows spelling PHILADELPHIA, pretending to be the sky, fly all their clouds beside us down the long street. I miss you. I can see all the colors now, all the colors now that you are seeing, that you are seeing. Twelve-pane windows spelling PHILADELPHIA , pretending to be the sky, fly all their birds beside us down the long street. I’m with you. I can see all the colors now, all the colors now that you are seeing, that you are seeing. And the trees arch over now their protecting arms, and the streetlight blinks to cross. Love is the ON the ON the ON, love is the song the song the song. I ‘m with you. I can see all the colors now, all the colors now that you are seeing. Love is the ON the ON the ON, love is the song the song the song.
