the yellow taxi
hail me a cab
to go he exclaimed
far far a way
the yellow cab rode
he settled at dusk
with suitcase in hand
away away
a room will i need
the road was still wet
as he walked in the door
to rest i must be
for one day
i will stay
please...
the key
the room was quite nice
pillows and tv
the shower was hot
every towel at hand
each glass clean and wrapped
he slipped into bed
turned off the room light
a dream i will see
tonight it will be
the door banged out loud
its me come and see
he ran on the floor
opened and saw
you found me you did
i can never be here
they hugged and they kissed
each cheek on their face
each tear wiped away
as the night rain
changed shape
the red ball did rise
as they folded their clothes
its me that you see
who banged on the door
i followed you here
to share and to hold
stay here a while
be by my side
no i must go
have to go far away
hail me a cab
to go far away
wake up she exclaimed
its half past three
pass me the blanket
and go back to sleep
