easter parade

the line of traffic comes to stand still

for the love came out in the morning air

i find the place i started from

the wild is calling

this time i'll follow

easter parade

in the beautiful typewriter's quiet

confetti falls from every window

throwing hats up in the air

a city perfect in every detail

easter parade

i know you

birthday cards and silent music

paperbacks and sunday clothes

in the hallway and railway stations

radio across the morning air

a crowd of people everywhere

and then the people are running forward

easter parade
