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 I'm 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 clock's wings, we talk about smart things Find myself smiling for the first time in days Now I'm haunted by a longing This afternoon on main street You're smiling and oh, how apropos I once had an ending but now I have to go I laugh when you say "flowers say what they mean" 'Cause roundabout, you say the funniest things Now I'm haunted by a longing so late in the evening It greets me with a warning
