The yellow cabs don't stop Down Broadway I turn my head to the sidewalk Use what little money I have in the diner I didn't know that I could be so wrong I can find a few things to blame it on I looked right through you And you could only watch me fall Like rain on a window In the cold museums In the sports colosseums Were you just a bank receipt in my pocket? The nights were free set my mind wandering A light that shined only for me I followed until to legs became weak
South through the city over the bridge Through turnpikes and tiny roads Curving through dead meadows Where spring violets grow To the wetlands and shore sands Of Cape May I looked right through you And you could only watch me fall Like rain on a window Graying greens, blue so deep The dormant volcanoes sleep The wind has blown, the moon is full The birds have flown Gold on gold on gold on gold on gold
