These are the words as best as I could figure them out from listening

to the tape. .

The salvation army band played.

And the children drank lemonade.

And the morning lasted all day, all day.

And through an open window came,

like Sinatra in a younger day.

Pushing the town away...

...Life in a Northern town.



He sat on a stony ground.

And he took a cigar out.

And everyone else came down to listen.

He said in Winter 1963

Everyone thought the world would freeze,

With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles.

...Life in a northern town.

All of the world struck down.



In the evening we'd talk too late. .

Watch the water run down the drain.

As we followed him down to the station xtion.

And though he never rode away goodbye e

You could see it written in his eye,

As the train rolled out of sight, bye bye. .



Life in a northern town..
