My Heart Was Home Again

So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand
And camels sail like wooden ships, like women on the strand
There's sand on Second Avenue and the wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again

And I remembered everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me, the way it used to be
Then I saw your face across the street, and my heart was home again

There's a bus that leaves at eight-fifteen and another one at ten
Should I climb aboard, risk everything, and ride it to the end?
Watch the hills like roller coasters up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me, so close that I could die
You said love wrecks everything and none of us survive
So I got over you last night and I'm still alive
Then I saw your face across the street, and my heart was home again

And I remembered everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me, the way it used to be
And then I saw your face across the street, and my heart was home again
