lyrics

Eleanor’s House

La Da Da Dum La Da Da Dum La Da Da Dum Dum DadUm Dum

Verse 1
It was 1967, a summer full of song
(I’m) a youngster of eleven sitting on a shed
Eleanor by my side, the Beach Boys on the “waves”
I thought I was in heaven on that balmy July day, balmy July day
Verse 2
On the far side of the city in that summertime of light
Two lovers shared a promise that endured like solid wood
To build a life and home as well of rhythm rock and blues
Louise and Pat’s unbroken bond, a joinery of love, a joinery of love

La Da Da Dum La Da Da Dum La Da Da Dum Dum DadUm Dum

Verse 3
The Flowers of San Francisco a distant song of peace
Scott McKenzie’s invite to a California dream
That wrote a memory for this kid to capture for all time
Remind him why he plays guitar that echoes down the line, echoes down the line
Verse 4
In New York’s Greenwich Village, to Tin Pan Denmark St.
Dublin’s Club A-Go-Go, (to) Harvard’s Club Passim
They sang the tunes to stamp the time before the bitter end
A long black veil the world drew down to hide the face of change, hide the face of change

La Da Da Dum La Da Da Dum La Da Da Dum Dum DadUm Dum

Reprise
The radio remembers, reminds me yes it does
I’m a youngster of eleven still sitting on a shed
Eleanor by my side, the Beach Boys on the “waves”
I thought I was in heaven on that balmy July day, balmy July day, balmy July Day.
