You meet me, in a snowstorm, at the airport

With your arms full of lilies and roses

You say, "It took forever on these roads"

I say, "I'm glad you didn't wait at home"

And I feel warm, in a t-shirt in the snow

Think of the Joni song "Case of You, Case of You"

And I stand there, shaking at the baggage claim

Your breath a new addiction, in my veins

And I, struggle in my mind

With what is yours and what is mine

Already I forget the contours of my other life

And we go, home to Pleasant Street

I could lose myself here easily and that scares me

Home, to Pleasant Street

Now I'd like to live forever in this day

I walk your dappled avenues

Your lucid streets

I move in minor chords and fight this happiness

Love it hit me blind side,

Thought I was right, never to risk my insight

And we go, home to Pleasant Street

And I could lose myself here, easily and that scares me

And what about my laundry?

The voices on my machine?

What about my dreams...of loneliness and glory

Strangers, fan mail and Valentines from far away

Now I'd like to live forever in this day

And we go, home to Pleasant Street

I could lose myself here, easily and that scares me

Could this be me, the one who would be free?

Now I'd like to live, forever in this day
