Song Up In Her Head

The Virgin Mary all dressed in blue
Sings "My first lover" for an audience of two
New York boy all dressed in black
Old leather boots, old soles intact

Time moves forward
And time moves back
Like a mixed up engineer
On an endless railroad track

Miles to go
From me to you
From a town that gets old
To a city that's new

This flame burns brighter
With every poem read
This bird flies higher
With the song up in her head

Time moves slow
And time moves fast
The future now will soon be past
