Lyrics

Radio Days
(Allison, Ramsay)

I remember long ago
but not about getting older
with the leaden light of winter
laying heavy on my shoulders
at five o 'clock
the daily news
crackled in the hallway
as the voice of Walter Winchell
breathed life into our pantry
and somewhere out beyond the dial
those voices still remain
?
Radio days
now the years growing colder
and I wonder if at all anybody's even there
Radio days
now that lights growing dimmer
and I wonder if at all anybody even cares
?
In '45 the trees afire
the deadened leaves the rustle
with her crutches down Kay Kaiser's sound
spark the tiny withered muscles
and from this box of tubes and wires
where the tremble secrets kept
flows the art of inspiration to tiny dancer so inept
between the static frequencies
those voices still remain
?
Radio days
now the days growing shorter
and I wonder if at all anybody's even there
Radio days
now the lights getting dimmer
and I wonder if at all anybody even cares
