Seven Gray Cars

I pass seven gray cars on my way home from work.
Neighbor 5 says, "How are ya?"
Well, I didn't leave my heart in San Francisco,
But it did move to California.
Guess I never really knew
What I'd lose when you
Took my colors away.
I never did see the things that you realized.
Maybe if I close my eyes,
I can be right.
For it was fine being blind,
But did I lose the feelings you knew so well?

It's not cold; it's not wet, but there's always a cloud.
Twenty-three minutes shopping.
Though it's not a hot time in the town tonight,
My body temperature is dropping.
The struggle's to see
What I'll be truly
When I fade into black.
When looking back now each time that I get a break,
I see we made a big mistake --
I see the light.
For if we grew
What we knew
We could have done then
All the things we can't do now.

How can I do what I thought I would always do
When everything's drifting away?
I've taken quite a long time
To think about things,
And the sameness of this mundane life amazes me.
For I never really seem to know...
Where to go....

I hear all the same sounds as my day passes by.
A moment of dead time I borrow.
For yesterday gave me nothing to believe in,
But 'twas better than no tomorrow.
I don't know what to think
Of the world since drink
Made me all to forget.
If only I'd heard the things that the piper played!
Maybe we'd have both been swayed
Into the night.
I was afraid of charades,
But did the day remind me I thirsted more?

How can I do what I thought I would always do
When everything's drifting away?
I've taken quite a long time
To think about things,
And the sameness of this mundane life amazes me.
For I never really seem to know...
Where to go....
I don't know where I'm going,
But I sure am running fast.
You put the pedal to the metal,
Now you're doing more for less.
I said more for less.

And I never really seem to know...
