American Foursquare - Denison Witmer

An American Foursquare

On a tree-lined avenue

What am I going to do now?

I sold a house in the city

Moving back to the place I grew

What else can I say to you?

Now my new neighbors

Say the flowers on my south side

Are beautiful in the springtime

My brother and his family

Live three blocks toward the park

I see them every day

A little slow so I’m taking my time

A little slow but I’ll be alright

A little slow so I’m taking my time

A little slow, but it’s what I like

It’s what I need and like

I have to live in the moment

I have to move to the slightest touch now

Take whatever comes my way

Because the negative predictions

And the apathy are far too much

I chose not to live that way

A little slow so I’m taking my time

A little slow but I’ll be alright

A little slow so I’m taking my time

A little slow, but it’s what I like

It’s what I need and like

Are you implying that I’m not trying?

Like if you’re bored, you’re boring?

I see the point, but I’m all mixed up

I’d be lost without your love

I’m lost without you
