Letter to the East Coast Lyrics
being joan crawford at 21
was easy
living in new haven in 1925
was simple and kind
like you and me at the start
it’s right and bright at the top
but the rook’s not to blame
for those who didn’t have an endgame
the tenements of new haven, 2010,
spare me that, my friend
being joan crawford at the end,
well that was hard
you and me at the start
it’s simple and pure at the top
but the rook’s not to blame
for those who didn’t have an endgame
was easy
living in new haven in 1925
was simple and kind
it’s right and bright at the top
but the rook’s not to blame
for those who didn’t have an endgame
spare me that, my friend
being joan crawford at the end,
well that was hard
it’s simple and pure at the top
but the rook’s not to blame
for those who didn’t have an endgame

wonder why it took so long to submit the lyrics (almost 4 months)?
New Haven love and adoration here.
Everything decays. Everything has a gilded age, and everything inevitably fades. Even the love that these two thought they had nailed down. There's no one to blame, really, it's just the way it is. The way it ends.
Just like those big old houses on Howe Street.
