Another day in lockdown as panic grips the nation Another day of quarantine and utter isolation
Thank God I have a window, thank God I have a view Across the street another window And in that window is you
Day 21, I noticed you, you played the clarinet Day 24, you sorta waved and that was how we met Day 29, at 2 am, we both were up too late I poured some wine, you raised a glass like we were on a date A really nice first date
You there, across the way, just above the shuttered sushi bar I don't know your name And I don't know who you are But 60 feet has never felt so close So close and yet so far
Day 32, I washed my hands, you made a cornish hen Day 36, you sewed a mask, I washed my hands again Day 43, we both ate lunch on windowsills that day We felt the breeze and dreamed of France, a chic outdoor cafe A tres bien cafe
You there, across the way, laughing as I play my air guitar I don't know your name, and I don't know who you are But 60 feet has never felt so close So close and yet So far I'm asymptomatic, except for a bad case of Fomo And a slightly distressing, unhealthy obsession with Governor Andrew Cuomo
Da-day 48, yeah that's today, I see your beaming face You're holding up a handmade sign that says: My name is Grace
Grace, of course your name is Grace
You there, across the way, just above the shuttered sushi bar Now I know your name And I want to know who you are But 60 feet has never felt so close So close, and yet So close and yet Hello Grace, my name is Anthony
