I Wonder What Became of You

Glass looks out on Locust Street downtown

A symphony of feet, the steady beat goes down

Catcalls raise my eyes to see the view

I remember and wonder what became of you

============================

Rappin' and wavin', no sign of a frown

Hot sun can't deepen skin so brown

Window shopping for anything but blue

I remember and wonder what became of you

==================================

Unyielding concrete under shoes like a clown

Takin' you nowhere, high, just hangin' around

Back to the cuckoo's nest from where you flew

I remember and wonder what became of you

==================================

Serenade with a love song, raindrops can't drown

Beneath a backwards cap hiding your crown

Altered state of courage belie the kisses you blew

I remember and wonder what became of you

==================================

Behind the glass, untouchable princess in a gown

Nameless hostages of our own private surround

But the mirror flips with a turn of the screw

I remember and wonder what became of you

==================================
