Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
Didn't feel so cold and tired
Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine
And I remember candlelight
And singing 'til we could not sing no more
Then falling warm asleep on Susan's floor
Well, now that my song is sweeter
And thank her for the favours that she gave
A stranger I came
My head bowed in the rain to her door
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor
In the morning I'd go on
Buying kingdoms with my songs
Knowing I'd be back in just awhile
Warming in the sunlight of her smile
Well, lots of time and songs have passed
I catch myself just looking back
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
That's where I'd be today
If I had only stayed one night more
Sang another song on Susan's floor
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
