So
it goes, history shows
Deserts must expand,
and camels sail like wooden ships, like
women on the strand
There's sand on Second Avenue,
and the wind blows like a train
Trees line up like a string of pearls around the block again
And I remembered everything,
and every windowpane
Every word came back to me,
the way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street,
and my heart
was home again
There's a bus that leaves at 8.15,
and another one at 10
Should I climb aboard,
risk everything,
and ride it to the end?
Watch the hills like rollercoasters up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me,
so close that I could die
You said love wrecks everything,
and none of us survive
So I got over you last night,
and I am still alive
Then I saw your face across the street,
and my heart was home again
And I remembered everything,
and every windowpane
Every word came back to me,
the way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street,
and my heart was home again
