here we are at the corner of south st
shaking hands and saying good bye
though the crowd it swells around us
they do not wonder why
see the coffee's getting colder
and the bread is going stale
as the sun beats down on south street
they're oblivious to our tale
oh, i could turn this crowd
and we could march against the palace
take the queen of hearts and leave her shaking in her boots
when we hold hands, we will make this city jealous
and leave forever, summer shining. we'll rise.
see this horseless people carraige
as it rolls along the street
we're oblivious to its passage
and the trampling of the feet
in my head i know you need this
and my heart it will let go
but i'm cracking like the sidewalk
and i've no place to call home
we'll make love and abandon our remorses
as the sounds of shoes echo through the window pane
then i'll awake to find you've slipped into the quiet
broken bread, and a fading coffee stain
then you'll call me from a payphone in paris
to say you've lost the will to see the city lights
we'll make plans to meet this side of christmas
then board two planes that will pass in the night; we'll fly.
we'll cross paths on a street somewhere in brooklyn
as you're boarding a train for the other side of town
to catch a plane to a job in barcelona
all i can say is that it's nice this time of year
oh, well i know the score
i've been here before
and a million times in my head
i have done my time
i have walked the line
and regretted everything that i've said
yeah well i know i will do it all again
and i know why - it's this feeling i get in my head, but how long?
you'll call me from a payphone in paris
to say you've lost the will to see the city lights
we'll make plans to meet this side of christmas
then board two planes that will pass in the night; we'll fly.
then late one night, we will meet accidentaly
and marry each other on the side of a hill
change our names, and disappear completely;
and live out our days doing whatever we feel.
