It's true there were all the men
Who said they were through
every time they gave you shelter
I know that I'm kind of mad
it's hard to hold the hand of anyone
Who reaching for the sky just to surrender
Who is reaching for the sky
And then sweeping out the jokers
You find he did not leave you very much,
he was watching for the card
that is so high and wild,
could ever need to deal another
I told you when I came, was a stranger
I told you when I came, I was a stranger
But now another stranger seems to want
We've seen that man before,
his golden heart, his magic cards,
And he wants to trade the game,
Yes, he wants to trade the game,
You hate to watch another tired man
like he was giving up the
notices there's a highway
that is curling up like smoke
It's curling just like smoke
but something makes you turn around
you can't close your shutter
You try to handle it, the road, it opens,
I think it's time to board
Please un derstand I never
To get me to the heart of this
you don't know what he's after
you don't know what he's after
if you choose to fall ashore
Honey leaves the platform
That's formed, you realize
regret you some place later
And then sweeping up the jokers
You cry, and he did not leave you very much
he was watching for the card
We'll never meet a deal, never
That meeting on your windowsill
And they'll say, they'll say one day
you caused his will to weaken
With your love and warmth and shelter
And they're taking from his wallet
an old schedule of trains
