time to leave the neighborhood
© 2017-2018 jordi baizan (ascap)
it was a drowsy winter morning
i was reading in the front room
a distant ambulance came closer
until its siren split the silence right in two
the street outside was lit up with flashing red and blue
flashing red and blue

i walked over to the window
pushed the cold curtain aside
they wheeled out mr richardson underneath a silver sheet
there was no one there to cry
when death asks, “will you walk with me?” it might come / as a surprise
might come as a surprise
this house has been a cradle for our children and our dreams
a refuge when we work too hard. a welcome for our friends
i’ve tried to live without regret. i hope i’ll be as ready as i should
when it’s time to leave the neighborhood
mr richardson and i spoke several times over the years
mostly about the astros and his two sons
brian was in retail. bill a high school teacher
we never mentioned vietnam
but he made sure old glory flew on holidays waving red white and blue.
waving red white and blue
this house has been a cradle for our children and our dreams
a refuge when we work too hard. a welcome for our friends
i’ve tried to live without regret. i hope i’ll be as ready as i should
when it’s time to leave the neighborhood
