lyrics

Wishful drinking in a drought
East 7th & Away
Downtown Danny in the house
Wielding pints and holding court
Was it my imagination?
Did she just smile at me?
Tonight's the night to give thanks
For fleeting moments like these
Was this attraction distraction or magic?
Passing fancy, me

I'm nostalgic for the present
I'm not thinking about the past
I don't know about the future
But I hope this feeling lasts

There in the reading room
At 42nd & 5th
She's describing details

Searching for a destination
Objectivity
She has found an inspiration
And passed it on to me
And the words are just fine, like violas
Now etched in memory

I'm nostalgic for the present
I'm not thinking about the past
I don't know about the future
But I hope this feeling lasts

Was this inaction distraction or tragic?
Fancy passing me

I'm nostalgic for her presence
And the not too distance past
And what happened to the future?
How could that moment last?

I'm nostalgic for the present
I'm not thinking about the past
I don't know about the future
But I hope this feeling lasts
