City slicker Softer than a midnight whisper Warm breath bathes your ear Watch me flicker On and off the streetlight Nothing ever feels right Until the radio comes on angels sing the song getting closer To backwards understanding anti-social Like a feather on the wind Try to keep my friends But I'm bitter hear a good thing My past is all a dead dream Memory, you cheap skate Paying me at half rate
Don't you open up your front door To the wind that's weak and gentle Playing with the thistle like a child Feeling weak and tired I lay down for a nap On the peace of your lap
Where I dream of going far Trudging deserts by the cool of the dark Sailing ships by the pull of the star lost in the blue May I come to you
