the houses shake when the wind don’t blow
in the sun traffic sits still three hours from home
this city, their angels, they out do it
what when the china shakes and the floorboards groan
and you spoke to me like I didn’t know
I hadn’t heard a single word for all the clattter
sure stars here don’t line the pavement
our walk’s only faults are lying in leaving
and if we went to Ol’ Califrnia
the ground might break before I caught ya.
my first car broke down three days out
hitched a ride on to Jackson sat till the rain dried out,
you, me, four books, and the tube.
and that night in the bar when we tumbled and fell
right round the room and that blue light juke box
holy ghost, on the rocks, I was high as the moon
and the stars over Los Angeles,
all the buses, the beaches, the preachers, and prayers
but I left old california
cause we faught like hell
and I couldn’t afford ya
If I called you now,
would you play that card
that stronger than thou
lasted all time without
like it was so hard
like it was all that counts
well I walked out
on a weak night
on a weak weak night

The café patio
we always sat out on
got torn down last May
for a liquor store
where the clerk
can't even remember your name
doubt
anyone's won this game
found their way with roads all rearranged
but I'll head down
to where the band used to play
hoping to find my own way
no, I didn't want to go
I never want to go
without you
there was one girl
singing at this bar out on San Jose
with strung out christmas light last June
they were out of tune
she sounded nothing like you
but she had your same sway, your same swoon
no, I didn't want to go
I never want to go
without you
stranger
tell me where we've been
I know I've seen your face
in several states
I've lost my way
only to find you again
and all the words
that went unsaid
I don't know them
I never did
but to see your face
and know my place
is more than any boy could ask
any friend
