Let's Not (And Say We Didn't)

I said with a smile as a joke Wouldn't it be funny if we were both Pulled along moving at the speed of sound You turned just as I said it If I were a gambler, I would bet it With a hush in your tone and a sly in your grin We saw black flag blow across I said look at that albatross It must be a sign of things to come You said I'm a carefree spirit And I don't really wanna hear it I'm hitching on the next ride out of here Then a Hurricane rolled on by, we climbed aboard and held on We're headed for the sky, drop me off at the sun C'mon don't stop there, we've only just begun On a ride headed nowhere I'm at a crossroads 10 years on I asked someone to borrow a phone She handed me a sheet and started a fire I tried to thank her for the help, But She told me I was stuck in a rut I'm giving you what you need to call back home I was about to help her out I had to see what she was on about But I turned around to See that She had gone So, I just lit the sheet ablaze When the wind began to raise It was high time for my ride to come in Now it's counting machines and better That replaced the lonely letter And the whole world's changed since I've been gone But I promise I will find you Oh my darling, I'm right behind you And we'll meet up when we get back home
