lyrics

the dogs bark low
the frisbees throw
the joggers laugh together like they didn't know
on Donnelly Field

the daffodils
the ring of bells
we're crouched on Megacouch to watch the imbeciles
on Donnelly Field

a window view will do quite well for me and you, my love
if anyone were boo, it would be you, my love
we'll watch the children play
and we'll wish them all away
and we'll hold onto each other one more day

a baseball bat
a red sox hat
a cotton mask has been discarded, trampled flat
on Donnelly field

a blue jay sings
on playground swings
we crack the window to hear some vicarious spring
from Donnelly Field

but inside here it's winter still for me and you, my love
is that a fever, chill—could it be flu, my love?
we're probably ok
but we'll worry anyway
as we try to disinfect the takeaway

we throw our salt
we knock on wood
it's not our fault that the damn weather's gotten good

but you will keep me entertained 'til this is through, my love
if anybody could, it would be you, my love
for dinner we'll have stew
and for breakfast probably too
and we won't pretend we know what we should do

except avoid Donnelly Field
