Little Kid - Drag Your Cloud Lyrics

the streetcar's on the horizon
and the lantern's always lit
and i've got time
to think and write
and money left to spend

my bones are all in alignment
got a little room i rent
but i've dragged a cloud
through every town
i've ever lived within

the curtains part to let the light in
and the ledge is always filled
with peonies
and nectarines
you're at the windowsill

the evening's still on your eyelids
but the morning's on your lips
you're crying now
""what's this about
was it something that i did?""

it's an image i've tried memorizing
but your face is always hid
by little clouds
that trickle out
from the places i forget

so if that streetcar's on the horizon
if that lantern's lit again
i've dragged your cloud
through every town
i've lived in ever since
