lyrics

I have been walking through the pagan night
I've been relying on my second sight
I gotta say the stars look bright and knowing

I'm out here looking for my key chain girl
I know she's somewhere in this insane world
She wears a necklace with a precious pearl that's glowing

I won't be talking bout what I don't know
Won't be revealing what's not mine to show
Hope you remember that I told you so, my baby

I'm gonna find you, yeah, I know I will
You could be living on some lonely hill
Or maybe married down in Charlottesville, just maybe

They say, water for the wicked and its wine for the wise
Me, I'll drink either, they're the same in my eyes

I studied love and I have studied war
I studied waves out on a Key West shore
I knocked on my true love's front door, she did not answer

Long ago in San Francisco Bay
I saw Dizzy Gillespie, yeah, I heard him play
He got me thinking in a different way, forever

I'm waiting in the pasture, I'm just standing here
Loneliness is something that I do not fear
I always feel that she's somewhere near, we're together

Down through the drainpipes I spun and I spun
And here flat at the bottom is where I've begun

I have my moments, but now I'm low
I cannot tell you why this is so
Cuz all this happened so long ago, and faraway
