Listening to songs of old The songs of past Time holding that transistor Radio in hand Before the day of headphones Sharing that monotone vision Making where you stood The best receptacle To the land You felt freedom You felt hope I felt joy In all that you spoke With one little song The world was spared Sorrow If only for a moment If only for the time I was listening To the best side around Watching it spin on the player That magical phonograph Miles away I danced As we all danced In our heads And with our feet Dancing to the sounds Of the 60s 5/8/2014
