Midnight dancing barefoot on the streets that walked us home
But turned and looked the other way when the morning saw you go
And leave me heavy as pavement, broken gla** and cobblestones
And it's dark again around me now, since the morning saw you go
And Jimmy said that you were headed south the last he heard
But I was seeing in birds and clouds signs of your return
Just a lesson I'd have to swallow, high time to learn
I don't read the sky now anymore for signs of your return
And if I know the rain here, he'll keep me from belief
In anything like daylight throwing rosebuds on your cheek
And I'm a-head down south to find you, where the sand is warm and white
And I'll speak in six-string whispers, waiting, trying to catch your eye
I'm a-headed down south to find you, the sun my only guide
To where light sings on the water, waiting, trying to catch your eye
