SUMMER ON THE L By Lisa Redford (demo)

Lisa's song called 'Summer on the L' is about being on this train and her observation of people who use the line, life in Brooklyn and making a new start in a new city.
This is a live video demo recording.
About the 'L' train:
The L 14th Street--Canarsie Local is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway, providing service along the entire length of the BMT Canarsie Line. It is colored gray on route signs, station signs, rolling stock, and the official subway map.

The L service operates between 8th Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan, and Rockaway Parkway in Canarsie, Brooklyn, at all times. It also briefly enters Queens at Halsey Street, serving the neighborhood of Ridgewood. All trains are local, as the Canarsie line has no express tracks.

Lyrics:
Outside your window a parade
You spend the whole time in the shade
It's summer and you're free
So far away but you're 'home'
You never felt so afraid
Or ever felt so awake

It's summer on the L
Strangers become lovers
When it's summer on the L
Brand new friends then strangers again

You keep the loneliness at bay
By running round and round all day
Memories return from another world
That you left behind
Just distract the mind

You'll do your best to survive
At last you know you're alive

It's summer on the L
Strangers become lovers
When it's summer on the L
Brand new friends then strangers again
It's summer on the L
You can just start over again

Just wipe those tired heavy eyes
From endless nights, left you sleep deprived
This is a choice that you made
And you could turn around anyday

It's summer on the L
Strangers become lovers
When it's summer on the L
Brand new friends then strangers again
It's summer on the L
Strangers become lovers
When it's summer on the L
You can just start over again

Over again..over again..over again...
