Suzanne Vega - Anniversary

Fall in all attendant memories
Crowd the day with unrelated histories
Each year leaves its unresolving fantasies
That hang around each corner
Hang around each street
Thick with ghosts, the wind whips round in circuitries
Carrying words as strangers exchange pleasantries
Do they intrude upon your private reveries?
As they meet you on every corner
Meet you in each street
Watch for daily braveries
Notice new found courtesies
Finger sudden legacies
As they wash down every corner
Clean up every street
Mark the month and all its anniversaries
Put away the drafts of all your eulogies
Clear the way for all your possibilities

'Cause they live upon each corner
Live on every street
Watch for daily braveries
Notice new found courtesies
Finger sudden legacies
As they wash down every corner
They clean up every street
Mark the month and all its anniversaries
Put away the drafts of all your eulogies
Clear the way for all your possibilities
'Cause they live upon each corner
They live on every street
They live upon each corner
They live on every street
Make the time for all your future revelries
Live on every street
