Dar Williams - It Happens Every Day Lyrics
The first part of every day for me is good, Ive got the bus stop in myNeighborhood, everythings on purpose, everywhere theygo, hiding in my car andRunning in the snow, running with the friends theyll know for years, Ive seenIt all from here, from here. it happens every day, before they go to school,They play until the bus drives up beside my lan, and theres always been aMother who waits till they are gone, then she turns away, happens every day.Noon comes and turns this campus upside down, I watch the students in thisCollege town. you would think theyre earefree, I have seen their trials,Frowning into shakespeare and practicing their smiles, even underliningNabokov, when I am not in love, in love. it happens every day, with theirJournals and cafes, looking up at their reflections on the other wall, withEvery new idea, wondering if theyve changed at all, then they turn away, itHappens every day. life is as hard and as easy as they say, walking the stapsWeve chosen on this day. some wIll be outrageous, some have rarely shown, some will walk like couples, someQuite alone. as I think about the world I see, they stare and smile at me, atMe. it happens every day, at the crossing of the street looking out to seeWhats new and what is still the same, and the only word for lovei sEverybodys name, and that will always stay, happens everyday. and every dayWill happen without you.
