I’d love to tell you
What you want to hear
Crystal words, so clear
Something warm and dear
Like a candle
On a stormy night –
Shine a bit of light
Let you know it’s all okay
When all is done and said
But there’s nothing
When i dial the phone
And you’re never home
So i guess i’m prone
To go searching
Looking through the street
For the tracks of feet –
That always seem to roam
So far ahead.
Like shadows racing down the boulevard
The night is falling like a house of cards
The wind is howling at a lonely moon,
But the sun will come tomorrow just to shake away the gloom… again, oh my friend.
Perhaps the table
Is already set
And all your needs are met
But i’d place a bet
That the stories
I have heard are true
As they point to you
And they’re darker and more blue
Than the deepest sea
That turns and tosses like a funny dream
That churns and sloshes like a slot machine
But even like the waves above the bow
The world may try to drown you, but it never does, somehow.
Oh, no - it never does somehow.
Time flies by like a bird up in the sky -
Flits and flutters like a spy up on the wire.
Maybe it's true - all you've got to do
Is fight against the wind to make it higher.
