about

A quarantine love song, written and recorded March-April 2020 in San Francisco during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place.

RIP Adam Schlesinger, who wrote the soundtrack to my 2002. Here is my tribute to the delicious pop you wrote.

lyrics

=== LYRICS ===

We're going places without going anywhere
Can't touch our faces but I can throw my arms around the open air
Social distance, you're like a work of art
Portrait of perfection wiping down a shopping cart
Social distance can't keep us apart
Sheltering in place but the place is in my heart

We're writing letters, romance by telephone
I think you're clever, I think that isolation is our chaperone
Social distance, I made a lemon tart
I will have save your slice if I can I watch you play guitar
Social distance, I liked you from the start
Flattening the curving path into your heart

I stare out my window and see the evening gloom
Is this the end, is there anything but doom?
Try to catch a breath but I'm stuck inside my room
My thoughts are racing, my vision starts to zoom

Social distance, I want you as you are
Twenty miles away but somehow still right on the mark
Oh the distance can't keep us apart
Sheltering in place and the place is in my heart

Oh the distance, at night we share the stars
Your navigating waves and reading our charts
Social distance can't keep us apart
Sheltering in place and the place is in our hearts
