lyrics

A year ago today I saw a faint mirage
A woman standing tall singing "Bon voyage!"
Legs in a skirt and arms on piano
Singing songs in harmony knowing I would go
Till she disappeared
And now I am home in the stars

Oh well, count me out, the strings in box are a novel's page
So please don't help me out, stay in the sun with your horseshoe smile

Well it's funny what can happen when you let it free
The shoreline finds you when you're lost at sea
You swear solitude with your hand on book
Then you wrap the book in ribbons and your start to look your best
Just as she is dressed up in red for you

Oh well, count me out, the strings in box are a novel's page
So please don't help me out, stay in the sun with your horseshoe smile

Well every song I've written is a photograph in time
So consider this a snapshot with a pleasing rhyme
I hope a year from now this photo is on a disc
As it spins an old story from the dusty depths of a car radio
And tells of a song and a time like this one

Oh well, count me out, the strings in box are a novel's page
So please don't help me out, stay in the sun with your horseshoe smile
