Ricochet In Time Lyrics by Shawn Colvin -- albums: Steady On and Live in '88
I've been sleeping fair
lately I could swear I'm thinking clearer
and clearer
I've been working hard --
looking at my punch card and my mirror
my mirror
But I daydream in my room
and I'm baying at the moon
Ricochet in time to the music
just pick a day and I'm in a new destination.
I take too many planes
I know too many names and I forget them
I wanted to know if dreams would lie
you said they would try
and I said "Let them...
just let them."
But I kill dreams in the chase
I slap love in the face
Ricochet in time to the music
just pick a day and I'm in a new destination.
I crawled up from the sewer
for something that was truer
than I intended
I ended up on my knees
in this big city
I was befriended
I transcended
But I bruise my friends for more
I rail at heaven's door
Ricochet in time to the music
you just pick a day and I'm in a new destination.
