Street Song

I walked down to the sidewalk
The night was crying rain
I heard thunder wandering
Like a crash in someones tin
I can tell from the lightnings flashing
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.
