So here she`s actin` happy inside her handsome home
And me, I`m flyin` in my taxi, takin` tips and gettin` stoned.
I got into town a little early.
Had eight hours to kill before the show.
First I thought about heading up north of the bay
Then I knew where I had to go.
I thought about taking a limousine
Or at least a fancy car.
But I ended up taking a taxi
`Cause that`s how I got this far.
You see, ten years ago it was the front seat
Drivin` stoned and feelin` no pain.
Now here I am straight and sittin` in the back
Hitting Sixteen Parkside Lane.
The driveway was the same as I remembered
And a butler came and answered the door.
He just shook his head when I asked for her
And said `She doesn`t live here anymore.`
But he offered to give me the address
That they were forwarding her letters to.
I just took it and returned to the cabbie
And said `I got one more fare for you.`
And so we rolled back into the city
Up to a five store old brownstone
I rang the bell that had her name on the mailbox.
The buzzer said somebody`s home.
And the look on her face as she opened the door
Was like an old joke told by a friend.
It`d taken ten more years but she`d found her smile
And I watched the corners start to bend.
And she said, `How are you Harry?
Haven`t we played this scene before?`
I said `It`s so good to see you, Sue
Had to play it out just once more.`
Play it out just once more.
She said I`ve heard you flying high on my radio
I answered `It`s not all it seems`
That`s when she laughed and she said, `It`s better sometimes
When we don`t get to touch our dreams.`
