PARK BENCH DAYDREAM
Park Bench Daydream (single) (2021). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick
I’m walking towards the fountain
Thursday morning Washington Square
Sunlight through the trees,
A late September breeze combs my hair
Chess games and German Shepherds
A woman sketching dreams on the lawn
I’m hiding from myself,
Put the future on a shelf where it belongs
I need a park bench daydream
To send my worries to the sky
I need a park bench daydream
To help me lose track of time
Colors start disappearing
Troubles rolling in like clouds
The moment starts to fade, the future has invaded
I’ve been found
I have to call Miss Susie
Pack my bags for fifteen shows
It’s mighty hard to stop this living on the clock
But it’s time to go
I need a park bench daydream
To send my worries to the sky
I need a park bench daydream
To help me lose track of time
