New front door, same address
 
Same front step, same back-porch
 
Geraniums to the terrace
                 
Sold my shoes to pay the rent
                       
I won't be needing them
                      
I won't be leaving too soon


           
Oh my dear, do undress
                        
You look so different in those new shoes
                           
To impress someone you have never met
                   
Someone you already know
                          
Is waiting behind my front door


                   
And by the door you know I'll wait
                            
Oh, by the window, by the gate
                        
I'm waiting for your sound


                      
So softly, dear, don't hesitate
                           
The lion looms along the lake
                      
And swallows every sound
                           
But oh, I wish that I could take
                   
That simple lonely way
                      
That long cold lonely way
                         
But these days it takes more than two feet
          
It takes four to fill the road
                           
I fend and swing the axe at for


                  
I've trampled all over the place
                             
Swung to and fro and still no state
                       
Has held me in its bounds


                     
But by the bridge I'd like to stay
                       
Oh, by the ocean, by the bay
                              
And hope that you'll come around


            
Oh, my dear, do undress
                        
You look so different in those new clothes
                          
To impress someone you have never met
                    
I'm the one needing you
                   
I'm the one with no shoes


                  
So by the door you know I'll wait
                          
Oh, looking out the golden gate
                             
She yawns into the morning...
