The Neighborhood of Love

from Red Tigers by Short Hand

lyrics

So it seems
So it goes
Your brother thinks
Your mother knows
Your friends believe
And your father’s sure
The doctor grins
It’s the perfect cure

Meanwhile, all of us by the dozens
In the neighborhood of love
Just trying to live decent lives
in the midst of this never-ending crisis
we call modern life
above or below us
in front or behind us
in truth or in lies, son
with death on the horizon

from what I know
from what I’m told
the trumpet blows
the sky unfolds
and still somehow
it’s not clear at all
what is possible
to the apostle Paul

your neighbor swears
your paster prays
your lover loves
what cannot stay
what comes alive
and what disappears
is the happiness
and the happy fears
