Across my street I am looking at a store I don't go to anymore But, I used to very often Now it's sitting like a coffin Slightly used I'm remembering the whole thing Unamused This place was just a fruit stand I think Was run, I think By Eastern Europeans Who in a year were Bought out by Koreans And their family from Seoul Who fed me at their family sink We ate Kim Chi And followed their traditions I told them about my craziest ambitions And they handed me a bowl Filled with luck and self control Looking in the window of this empty house space I see their reflections in my face I see Mister Choi and Madame G Squawking at their family Who stand there with these irritated grins The children always practicing their violins Open 24 hours from dawn till dawn And one day they were gone What happened to these wonderful friends In twenty years I never got a letter I hope their lives got infinitely better And I wanted to explain How their friendship kept me sane Looking in Looking in The window of this empty house space Empty house space I see there I see there Reflections in my face, face I see Mister Choi and Madame G Mister Choi and Madame G Treating me like family Treating me like family They cooked I fed their children and their cat Ooh I wasn't staff But made them laugh and that was that Open 24 hours from dawn till dawn And one day they were gone Open 24 hours From dawn till dawn And one day they were gone And one day they were gone And one day they were gone And one day they were gone [Thanks to Danielle for lyrics]
