On Susan's Floor

Like crippled ships that made it through the storms and finally reached a quiet shore

The homeless found a home on Susan s floor



I didn t feel so cold and tired stretched out before her fire

Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine

And I remember candle light and singing till we could not sing no more

And falling warm asleep on Susan s floor


Well now that my song is sweeter I think I d like to greet her

And thank her for the favors that she gave

A stranger I came my head bowed in the rain to her door

I sat and sang my songs on Susan s floor



In the morning I d go on buying kingdoms with my songs

Knowing I d be back in just a while warming in the sunlight of her smile



Well lots of time and songs have passed I catch myself looking back

Reliving all the wonder of those nights

That s where I d be today if I had only stayed one night more

And sang another song on Susan s floor


Like crippled ships that made it through the storms and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan s floor
