On the Corner

from Beyond My Showerhead by Tommy DiMeo

lyrics

Oh it was just a smile
That's all it took to do me in
I'll have to wait a while
Until I see her face again

Oh it was just a smile
One I'll carry all week through
Could I be in denial
For the past month or two?

She nearly made me stay
In this city one more day
I might find the words to say hello

But do not get me wrong
My heart's still not far along
I've got my smile, I think it's time to go

But I want to feel helpless again
I want to feel like my world's gonna end
If I don't see her in the window serving pastries
On the corner of Fourth and Garden

I'll be there when there's snow on the ground
I will not go when the sun's coming down
And you may wonder who this kid is
In the window, staring at you
writing rhymes in his mind
'bout a girl he's never met

Express train home, I'm on my way
Taller now than yesterday
And for a moment I'd forgotten I'm alone

She nearly made me stay
In this city one more day but
I can't find the nerve to say hello

I'm sure it won't last long
My heart's known less right than wrong
I've got my smile, I think it's time to go

But I want to feel helpless again
I want to feel like my world's gonna end
If I don't see her in the window serving pastries
On the corner of Fourth and Garden

I'll be there when there's snow on the ground
I will not go when the sun's coming down
And you may wonder who this kid is
In the window, staring at you
writing rhymes in his mind
'bout a girl he's never met

I'm on the corner yet again

I'm not sure that she was ever there at all
Cause ever since that day last fall
I haven’t seen the face
That draws me to my pastry place

Never could believe my eyes
They let my worried mind disguise
The world I see, to fill the holes inside me
