Street Song

I walked down to the sidewalk, the night was crying rain

I heard wandering thunder like a crash in someone's tin

I can tell from the lightning's flashing that the storm

would not refrain.

The wind blew through the treetops and I saw some

windowpane

I heard someone down in the alley a little voice called

out my name,

I saw the ghost of our wrecked romance it was lost in the

pouring rain.

Well I'm going back to the country

Up on the mountains up on the rising side

And if you should ever leave me

Send me a letter with some love inside

Where are you? Married? And in a good place?

I need to know to be satisfied.

I walked on through the darkness, the night still pouring

rain

The wind blew through the treetops and I saw some

windowpane

I saw the ghost of our wrecked romance, it was lost in

the pouring rain

One thing I have learned in my time in the skies and on

the ground

All the fires changed motivation, yet I burned to love

that sound.
