Jonathan Richman - 1963 lyrics

Hi everyone, 1963 by Jonathan Richman

Well, you moved out from the city
How come out there? For a calm, for a calm
That I recall from somewhere
So I could smell the plain old wind
Without fabric softener blent in
So I could see a landscape without a fence
So I could hear that loud silence

All right now you're away from the city
Why did you go?
I think I know, I think I know
To get the feelin' that cities
Used to give me way back in 1963
But Park Square has changed
It isn't like then 1963 won't be here
Again

So, so that I could approach
Excitement from a different tack
Cause 1963 probably isn't coming back
So I can let the birds do
What rock music did before
Cause 1963 probably won't be here anymore
Well, you visit cities what do you learn?
That I yearn for the past that I yearn

Well, now you're back home from the city
What did it lack? Well 1963
It just wouldn't come back
