Drag Your Cloud

[Verse 1]
The streetcar's on the horizon
And the lantern's always lit
And I've got time to think and write
And money left to spend

[Verse 2]
My bones are all in alignment
Got a little room I rent
But I've dragged a cloud
Through every town
I've ever lived within

[Verse 3]
The curtains part let the light in
And the ledge is always filled
With peonies
And nectarines
You're at the windowsill

[Verse 4]
The evening is still on your eyelids
But the morning's on your lips
You're crying now
"What's this about
Was it something that I did?"

[Verse 5]
It's an image I've tried memorizing
But your face is always hid
By little clouds
That trickle out
From the places I forget

[Verse 6]
So if that streetcar's on the horizon
If that lantern's lit again
I've dragged a cloud
Through every town
I've lived in ever since
