Lirama

As I reach for a peach, slide around down behind the sofa in San Tropez
Breakin' a stick with a brick on the sand
Ridin' a wave in the wake of an old sedan.

Sleepin' alone in the drone of the darkness
Scratched by the sand that fell from our love
Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling
"If you're alone, I'll come home"

Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the dove
Gone with the wind and the rain, on an airplane
Owning a home with no silver spoon
I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon

Sooner than wait for a break in the weather
I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together
Speeding away on the wind to a new day
And if you're alone I'll come home

And I pause for a while by a country style
And listen to the things they say
Digging for gold with a hoe in my hand
Open a book, take a look at the way things stand

And you're leading me down to the place by the sea
I hear your soft voice calling to me
Making a date for later by phone
And if you're alone I'll come home
