Lyrics

[Verse 1] The streetcar's on the horizon And the lantern's always lit And I've got time to think and write And money left to spend [Verse 2] My bones are all in alignment Got a little room I rent But I've dragged a cloud Through every town I've ever lived within [Verse 3] The curtains part let the light in And the ledge is always filled With peonies And nectarines You're at the windowsill [Verse 4] The evening is still on your eyelids But the morning's on your lips You're crying now "What's this about Was it something that I did?" [Verse 5] It's an image I've tried memorizing But your face is always hid By little clouds That trickle out From the places I forget [Verse 6] So if that streetcar's on the horizon If that lantern's lit again I've dragged a cloud Through every town I've lived in ever since
