TOCCATA

I don't sing about golden towns
Never talk about rainless clouds
See me walking my way
Head over heals from day to day
I think about the things you do
I just wanna know how are you
Have thrown my tickets away
The ocean's wide but where are you

This vessel sails from port to port
No one will ever take the load
The owner of this wreck
Will never pay his passage back
The schooner rolls and rolls
My love could fill up every hall
On the market place at night
Let's dance to the seagull's cry

I don't sing about dancing shoes
Never talk about the things we do
See me watching the float
The levee breaks but where are you
The salt streets burn and every route
Spends some water to kill my blues
Though it's five to twelve
I cross the alpes and find myself
I cross the alpes and find myself
