So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand Camels sail like wooden ships, like women down the strand There's sand on second avenue and the wind blows like a train Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again I remembered everything and every window pane Every word came back to me, the way it used to be But then I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules There's a bus that leaves at 8:15 and another one at ten Should I climb aboard, risk everything, and ride it to the end? Watch the hills like roller coasters up against the sky And Wish that you were here by me, so close that I could die You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive But I got over you last night and I am still alive Till I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive But I got over you last night and I am still alive Till I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules
