Main Street

Self-assured with a cold heart
I was sure the words had failed us
So roundabout I take the curtains down
Sweep beneath chairs, the unanswered prayers
Now Im haunted by a longing so early in the morning
It greets me without warning
Coincidence I see you today
We small talk but time gets in the way
So I clip the clocks wings, we talk about smart things
Find myself smiling for the first time in days
Now Im haunted by a longing this afternoon on Main Street
Youre smiling and oh, how apropos
I once had an ending but now I have the go
I laugh when you say, 'Flowers say what they mean'
Cause roundabout you say the funniest things
Now Im haunted by a longing so late in the evening
It greets me with a warning for life
