WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
                --  Scott McKenzie 


Hey friend, wake up! I'm throwing rocks at your window pane
Get out of bed! I got something to say
Pick up a toothbrush and sneak down the stairway
You got no reason you should stay

Hey, what's the difference if we don't come back?
Who's gonna miss us in a year or so?
Nobody knows us or the things we've been thinking
So what's the difference if we go?

Hey friend, wake up! I'm throwing rocks at your window pane
But don't wake your friends, they'll probably start to cry
You leave behind all the dreams they had planned for you
Don't worry, friend, they'll know why

What's the difference if we don't come back?
Who's gonna miss us in a year or so?
Nobody knows us or the things we've been thinking
So what's the difference if we go?
What's the difference if we go?

              *************

This song wakes something celebratory in me and at the same time make me so 
deep down sad?   Why do I cling to it so?  How can I at 65 still be a 20 year 
old?  Jesusfuckingchrist -- something should happen!  Please, God, please.

But it never does.
