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.
