Manzanita Bay from New Shadows by Jerry David DeCicca

Black out the windows
Bring down the day
Across the street in the playground
I can hear the children play
Like nothing is wrong
Like nothing has changed
On the 5th day of August
On Manzanita Bay

Drove up from Tacoma
Beat the blues like a drum
And two hours later
Washed it down with spiced rum
And if it was raining
I really can’t say
On the 5th day of August
On Manzanita Bay

Talked about us on the radio
Talked about us in the bars
And out on the beaches
Where the tourists counted stars
Back when moonlight mattered
And we were too young to obey
On the 5th day of August
On Manzanita Bay
On the 5th day of August
On Manzanita Bay
On the 5th day of August
