About The Song Lyrics

So much time to waste away every night that you're not here

So many games to play throughout the days that make up years

As we go winding through these avenues of dreams on the horizon

As long as you're inside my heart there's nothing so surprising about the song

It rumbles like a freight train and it sings a sparrow tune

Like a tumbleweed it tumbles through each day, midnight to noon

And strolls into the evenings like a watchman on patrol

In a city without criminals where politicians have a soul

I wish we'd met when we were younger and we fell in love way back then

My songs were sharpened knives and I was married to the pen

Love was in my lungs and I was hungry and disguising

That I didn't have a dime and there was nothing so surprising about the song

It rumbles like a freight train and it sings a sparrow tune

Like a tumbleweed it tumbles through each day, midnight to noon

And strolls into the evenings like a watchman on patrol

In a city without criminals where politicians have a soul

So much time to fill with absolutely nothing when you go away

I'm managing unmanageable men, trying to light the way

If I tossed it all away someday and threw my suits and ties in

Would you rest your hand in mine and know there's nothing so surprising about the Song

It rumbles like a freight train and it sings a sparrow tune

Like a tumbleweed it tumbles through each day, midnight to noon

And strolls into the evenings like a watchman on patrol

In a city without criminals where politicians have a soul
