Too Close to the Sun |
| It’s so dry here |
| One spark and the whole place could go up |
| I think I’ll stop and get a drink here |
| Something like the picture on the poster I saw a few miles back |
| A green can on a nest of ice |
| Like the egg of some Antarctic bird |
| And I’ve seen this town in a dream |
| I was running away |
| >From something that I didn’t want to see |
| It was a day like today |
| I watched the sky melt over Highway One |
| And I felt too close to the sun |
| Neighbour of mine |
| Got out of his car somewhere down country in weather like this |
| Just disappeared |
| Left the engine running |
| Police came to talk to his wife |
| I watched them from my window |
| She was shaking her head |
| The cops were standing, with their big hands hanging down |
| And I’ve seen this town in a dream |
| I was running away |
| >From something that I didn’t want to see |
| It was a day like today |
| I watched the sky melt over Highway One |
| And I felt too close to the sun |
| Who’s that yonder dressed in white? |
| (An old man kneeling on the bowling green |
| Shiny with gin and brilliantine) |
| He might as well have stepped from a satellite |
| (Looks at me and gets up slowly |
| Smiles and waves as if he knows me) |
| And I’ve seen this town in a dream |
| I was running away |
| >From something that I didn’t want to see |
| It was a day like today |
| I watched the sky melt over Highway One |
| And I felt too close to the sun |
| Too close to the sun |
