Down on the street
I got someone
I really want you to meet
In good time, like all things
A prayer for a plumb
Up all night
Waiting for the mail to come
In a light-less window
I've been afraid to depend on love
And it's fare-thee-well my friend
I'll see you at the promised end
Where the wind is laughter
And that home we never made
Is waiting in the desert shade
Happily ever after
Down on the street
I got someone
I really want you to meet
In good time, like all things
Step into place
Take my heart
Put it in a pillow case
It's been still for hours
We can get high down on old King's road
And watch as the lights explode
I can get lost if you want me to
And it's fare-thee-well my friend
I'll see you at the promised end
Where the wind is laughter
And that home we never made
Is waiting in the desert shade
Happily ever after
Like a bird on broken wing
I've been so afraid to sing
All my life I've wanted
In this violent world that spins
I've been so afraid to live
By the lights of comets
