It was raining hard in 'Frisco[00:00:12]
I needed one more fare to make my night[00:00:16]
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down[00:00:21]
She got in at the lights[00:00:25]
"Oh where you going to my lady blue "[00:00:31]
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain[00:00:35]
She just looked out the window she said[00:00:41]
"Sixteen Park side Lane"[00:00:45]
Something about her was familiar[00:00:59]
I could swear I'd seen her face before[00:01:03]
But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"[00:01:07]
Then she didn't say anything more[00:01:11]
It took a while but she looked in the mirror[00:01:17]
Then she glanced at the license for my name[00:01:21]
A smile seemed to come to her slowly[00:01:26]
It was a sad smile just the same[00:01:29]
And she said "How are you Harry "[00:01:36]
I said "How are you Sue [00:01:40]
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles[00:01:44]
I still remember you"[00:01:49]
It was somewhere in a fairy tale[00:02:11]
I used to take her home in my car[00:02:15]
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge[00:02:19]
The lesson hadn't gone too far[00:02:23]
You see she was gonna be an actress[00:02:29]
And I was gonna learn to fly[00:02:34]
She took off to find the footlights[00:02:38]
I took off to find the sky[00:02:42]
Oh I've got something inside me[00:02:58]
To drive a princess blind[00:03:03]
There's a wild man wizard[00:03:06]
He's hiding in me illuminating my mind[00:03:10]
Oh I've got something inside me[00:03:18]
But it's not what my life's about[00:03:23]
'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me[00:03:26]
Over till my time runs out[00:03:32]
Baby's so high that she's skying[00:03:53]
Yes she's flying afraid to fall[00:04:00]
I'll tell you why baby's crying[00:04:09]
She's dying aren't we all [00:04:16]
There was not much more for us to talk about[00:04:31]
Whatever we had once was gone[00:04:35]
So I turned my cab into the driveway[00:04:39]
Past the gates and the fine trimmed lawns[00:04:43]
And she said "We must get together"[00:04:49]
But I knew it'd never be arranged[00:04:53]
Then she handed me twenty dollars for a two-fifty fare[00:04:57]
She said "Harry keep the change"[00:05:01]
Well another man might have been angry[00:05:08]
And another man might have been hurt[00:05:12]
But another man never would have let her go[00:05:16]
I stashed the bill in my shirt [00:05:21]
And she walked away in silence[00:05:26]
It's strange how you never know[00:05:31]
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for[00:05:35]
Such a long long time ago[00:05:39]
You see she was gonna be an actress[00:05:47]
And I was gonna learn to fly[00:05:51]
She took off to find the footlights[00:05:56]
And I took off for the sky[00:06:00]
And here she's acting happy[00:06:06]
Inside her handsome home[00:06:10]
And me I'm flying in my taxi[00:06:14]
Taking tips getting stoned[00:06:18]
I go flying so high when I'm stoned[00:06:24]
