Pleasant Street

Pleasant Street
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
