Main Street de Virginia Labuat

Today the rain was left behind
as I arrive all joy and smiles
in Main, Main Street

The children play, and learn so more
that you and I will never know
in Main, Main Street

The waiter all in white says hi
the smell of toast, the sun so bright
breakfast turns to lunch

But from the alleyways
I sense the hatred gaze
my way

The record store has novel pop,
the diamond shop, the brightest stone, in Main, Main Street

The apples red as lipstick gloss
the trees so green, the chirping songs
in Main, Main Street

The florist gives away a rose
the cop just bobbed and said hello
dinner at Chez Jean

You are welcome to this seat
all I ask is let me see
down the side street
where I want to be
