|
I stand by a busy street |
|
Motion passes by |
|
She walks across from me |
|
Starlight in her eyes |
|
A simple phrase |
|
The perfect line |
|
I meet her gaze |
|
She catches mine |
|
How I wish for you to come |
|
To my side of the sidewalk |
|
If you would take my hand |
|
I'd take you to a place |
|
Where simpler things are true |
|
I spend all my money's worth |
|
Trying to get to you |
|
I call in the pouring rain |
|
From a phone booth |
|
This avenue |
|
Is a parking lot |
|
The lights are red but I |
|
I can't stop |
|
How I wish for you to come |
|
To my side of the sidewalk |
|
If you would take my hand |
|
I'd take you to a place |
|
Where simpler things are true |
|
(incoherent chanting) |
|
How I wish for you to come |
|
To my side of the sidewalk |
|
If you would take my hand |
|
If you would take my hand |
|
If you would take my hand |
|
How I wish for you to come |
|
To my side of the sidewalk |
|
If you would take my hand |
|
I'd take you to a place |
|
Where simpler things are true |
