about

Our scarecrow meets another woman, as hesitant as he to begin something new. Could things be looking up for our hero?

lyrics

Dateline: Thursday in Queens
A man is writing letters seldom to be seen
He writes them out for the love of his life
He sees her daily, knows he wants her for a wife
He showers her with affection and smiles
And everything, trying to win her heart with guile
She tells him no, that she simply cannot
And she goes home and she gets lost deep in thought

She’s afraid to be the one who loves the man more than he loves her
‘Cuz she’s been burned before and she don’t need another lover
The man feels betrayed and rejected every day
But the woman’s even lonelier because she won’t agree

Dateline: Friday in New York
He sees her strolling casually through Central Park
She caught his eye and she gives him a wave
She prays today’s the day she’s going to be brave
He broaches the weather, suggesting a walk
He hopes she’ll fall in love after a little talk
She goes along but she doesn’t make a move
She’s only got one heart, something she doesn’t want to lose

She’s afraid to be the one to love the man more than he loves her
‘Cuz she’s been burned before and she don’t need another lover
The man feels betrayed and rejected every day
But the woman’s even lonelier because she won’t agree

To a dance
Call it a date
Call it romance
Or call it fate
What she needs’
A helping hand
Swept off her feet
She needs the man

Dateline: Sunday in Queens
This is why we can’t have nice things.

Kevin Calaway Seattle, Washington

I could while away the hours conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain - but who has time for that? I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
