Here We Go Again
So we go into second full lockdown
It's simply just getting everyone down
No meeting places for us to go to
Contact with only those bubbled with you.
They try to tell us things will get better
I'm starting to believe that is never
What has happened to the life that we knew
Just what in the world are we coming to.
Remember those lovely days we all shared
Walking around freely, without a care
No mask to wear, that steam up one’s glasses
When hugs and kisses came automatic.
Life is not easy behind our closed doors
Who knows what heartache all this might have caused
The sick and lonely, what chance do they have
When no one comes calling, it is so sad.
Do you remember dancing in the streets
Flowers in our hair and loving real sweet
Mini skirts showing one’s thighs to the guys
Nothing stopped one reaching for stars in skies.
Should we believe what the soothsayers say
All will be well again, some sunny day.
