"Washington Field Trip" lyrics

"Washington Field Trip"

Having our picture taken
In front of the Capitol building
Depends on direction of light and on crowds
I don't feel comfortable standing
In front of this many people, or speaking
But I see we're all the same now

Up five blocks
The one o'clock snowing of flowers
Wanting to be helpful in this life
Carrying these flowering trees
Further in daylight

Beautiful Francis, I agree
I do not want fear to hold me
I don't want to be kept from loving at all

On my soles
The five o'clock snowing of flowers
Wanting to be loving in this life
Carrying these flowering trees
Further in daylight
