REUNIONS
(Carly Simon) 1971

Carly Simon 1971


This song forms part of Carly Simon's first studio album (of 25) on Elektra Records

First one in the city
Wearin' all those grass stained jeans
Nothing is forgotten, everyone is pleased
Someone got his hair cut
The girls have lots to say
His friends had felt more comfortable
With it worn the other way
And I don't know if I'll see you again.

Next one at the old house
Snow is on the ground
Photographs and wine are passed around
Someone toasts an absent friend
Another takes his seat.
They gather 'round the dying fire
But the circle's not complete
And I don't know if I'll see you again.

Last one by the highway
Wind blows through thin smiles
Someone made a wrong turn
Missed a joke by miles
Someone got her hair cut
A tear is in her eye
But no one even comments
Except to say, except to say, goodbye
And I don't know if I'll see you again.
