about

In memory of an old friend who passed away.......we shared our youth together. Check out my video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMaN4t37kBs for an earlier version of this song.

lyrics

It was 1975
We were Young and so Alive
Working at the Church Bazaar
You were standing in the corner
Watching me from afar

It was 1975
You took a dare and then you arrived
At the betting both where I was stationed
You started a conversation
And that's how it all began, in the summer of '75

Wearing a halter top with no bra
You caught my attention
Your beauty was so raw
You took me to a new dimension

It was 1975
In my Chevy with my tape drive
The lamp post light was shot
And it was dark in that parking lot
But I'd put a sign if I could, on that spot

It was 1975
We would soon learn to survive
We shared many nights of passion
I barely learned to tie my shoe strings
But we confused sex with compassion

Wearing a halter top with no bra
You caught my attention
Your beauty was so raw
You took me to a new dimension

It was 1976
Son of Sam knew the power of politics
The Mayor said he had to be stopped
It was the bicentennial but he killed six
And Our City.....was in shock

It was the summer of 76
Sam's son was up to his tricks
Dot 44 caliber gun
Voices in his brain would transfix
But in Jail he turned to the Crucifix

In my house boat we would stay
Far away from danger of the day
Fire Island was so far away
And we made love by the bay

Then came 1977
The cops finally caught Berkowitz
The man who caused the City fits
You left me for another fair
And so it ended, on that day, on that day
Hey yay e yay e yay

Wearing a halter top with no bra
You caught my attention
Your beauty was so raw
You took me to a new dimension
You took me to a new dimension.
