It was raining
Hard in 'Frisco
I needed
One more fare
To make my night
A lady up ahead
Waved to
Flag me down
She got in
At the light
Oh where ya
Goin' to
My lady blue?
It's a shame
You ruined your
Gown in the rain
She just looked
Out the window
She said, ''Sixteen
Parkside Lane''
Somethin' about her
Was familiar
I could swear
I'd seen her
Face before
But she said
''I'm sure
You're mistaken''
And she didn't
Say anything more
It took a while
But she looked
In the mirror
Then she glanced
At the license
For my name
A smile seemed to
Come to her slowly
It was a sad smile
Just the same
And she said
How are ya Harry?
I said
How are ya Sue?
Through the
Too many miles
And the too little
Smiles
I still...
Remember you...
It was somewhere
In a fairy tale
I used to
Take her home
In my car
We learned about
Love in the back
Of a Dodge
The lesson
Hadn't drowned
Too far
Ya see
She was gonna be
An actress
And I was gonna
Learn to fly
She took off
To find the
Footlights
I took off
To find the sky
Whoh I've got
Something inside me
To drive a
Princess blind
There's a wild man
Where's he at?
He's hidin' in me
llluminatin' my mind
Oh I've got
Something inside me
Not what
My life's about
'Cause I've
Been livin' my
Outside timely
Over till my
Time draws out...
There was not
Much more for us
To talk about
Whatever we had
Once was gone
So I turned my cab
Into the driveway
Past the gate
And the fine
Trimmed lawns
And she said,
We must get together
But I knew it'd
Never be arranged
Then she hands me
Twenty dollars for
A two-fifty fare
She said, ''Harry
Keep the change''
Well another man
Might have been angry
And another man
Might have been hurt
But another man
Never would've
Let her go
I stashed the bill
In my shirt
And she walked away
In silence
It's strange how
You never know
But we'd both gotten
What we'd asked for
Such a long...
Long time ago
Ya see
She was gonna be
An actress
And I was gonna
Learn to fly
She took off
To find the footlights
I took off
For the sky
And here she's
Acting happy
Inside her
Handsome home
And me
I'm flyin' in my taxi
Takin' tips and
Gettin' stoned
I go flyin'...
So high...
When I'm stoned...
