So it goes, history shows Deserts must expand And camels sail like wooden ships Like women on the strand There's sand on Second Avenue And the wind blows like a train Taxis light up like a string of pearls Around the block again And I remembered everything And every windowpane Every word came back to me The way it used to be Then I saw your face across the street And my heart was home again There's a bus that leaves at eight fifteen 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 said love wrecks everything And none of us survive So I got over you last night And I am still alive Then I saw your face across the street And my heart was home again And I remembered everything And every windowpane Every word came back to me The way it used to be Then I saw your face across the street And my heart was home again.
