I said with a smile as a joke
Wouldn't it be funny if we were both
Pulled along moving at the speed of sound
You turned just as I said it
If I were a gambler, I would bet it
With a hush in your tone and a sly in your grin
We saw black flag blow across
I said look at that albatross
It must be a sign of things to come
You said I'm a carefree spirit
And I don't really wanna hear it
I'm hitching on the next ride out of here
Then a Hurricane rolled on by, we climbed aboard and held on
We're headed for the sky, drop me off at the sun
C'mon don't stop there, we've only just begun
On a ride headed nowhere
I'm at a crossroads 10 years on
I asked someone to borrow a phone
She handed me a sheet and started a fire
I tried to thank her for the help, But
She told me I was stuck in a rut
I'm giving you what you need to call back home
I was about to help her out
I had to see what she was on about
But I turned around to See that She had gone
So, I just lit the sheet ablaze
When the wind began to raise
It was high time for my ride to come in
Now it's counting machines and better
That replaced the lonely letter
And the whole world's changed since I've been gone
But I promise I will find you
Oh my darling, I'm right behind you
And we'll meet up when we get back home
