I Bet You Don't Remember

I bet you don't remember
the whistling in "Goodbye Stranger"
I bet you don't even like
Supertramp very much.

When I come home to visit
   I want to sit in the living room
      in the dark
and listen to vinyl records on the
   turntable
through the speakers that are older than
      I am
I want to see only by the greenish
   blueish light of the tuner
maybe one oil lamp
   for old times' sake,
you know?

Not very different
   from what I do for present times' sake
the glow of the tuner
   me
alone with the sound.
