Midnight dancing barefoot on the streets that called us home

But turned and looked the other way when the morning saw you go

And leave me heavy as pavement, broken glass and cobblestones

And it's dark again around me now, since the morning saw you go



Jimmy said that you were headed south the last he heard

But I was seeing in birds and clouds signs of your return

Just a lesson I'd have to swallow, and high time to learn

I don't read the sky now anymore for signs of your return



And if I know the rain here, he'll keep me from belief

In anything like sunshine putting rosebuds on your cheeks



And I'm a head down south to find you, where the sand is warm and white

And I'll speak in six-stringed whispers, waiting, trying to catch your eye

I'm a head down south to find you, the sun my only guide

Where light sings on the water, waiting, trying to catch your eye
