Eighth notes beading along on my raincoat
The weather was wrong on the news
But I never used what anyone gives me

Progress, I finally threw out her sundress
Maybe I’ll soon fall asleep without counting sheep
Till I need a fence to hold them 

Joni could you find it in your heart
To come and show me how to love again 

The beat years, you used to come over for cheap beers
And parliament lights in the dark 
Spin "Court and Spark" and ash in the hallway
You told me you feel like you don't even know me 
But Joni I never gave up
I just grew up faster than I ever wanted 

Joni could you find it in your heart
To come and show me how to love again 
Joni could you find it in your heart
To come and show me how to love again

Patience in the lines you see 
Leave a little room to breathe
I remember what you taught me 
But I don’t remember seeing you go
And I don’t think it’s time I need 
Just a little company
Some vinyl crackling on the edge of the side
Strangers brushing in the morning light 
Yeah I’m just trying to find the missing piece of my life
Could you help me find it? 

Joni could you find it in your heart
To come and show me how to love again
Joni could you find it in your heart
To come and show me how to love again

I’ve been staying up all night
Counting all the water towers
Dancing off the light 
You, I met you on the train
And then you kissed me on my fire escape 
In the pouring rain

So call me when you’re ready to live inside my head
Take me to your neighborhood and
Show me all the secrets that you told me in my bed
Southwest Brooklyn, so good looking
Even had a sleeve of tattoos 
You’re so Brooklyn that
I could fall in love with you 

And maybe I could take you to a matinee
Manhattan on a Saturday 
Watch the sun come down on Rockaway 
While we talk about how the city is changing 
There’s a cozy little bar I want to to take you to 
On ninth street and fifth avenue
I’d introduce you to the pinball boys
I️ know they’re going to love you too 

So baby won’t you lay with me
And live inside my head 
I’ll call your favorite restaurant and 
Order in some dinner so we never leave the bed 

Southwest Brooklyn, so good looking
Even had a sleeve of tattoos 
You’re so Brooklyn that
I could fall in love with you 

I’m a sad eyed ferry on the side of the road 
With August rolling by
Have you heard of Owl Farm
Could you bring me in your car
It won't take long 

Oh sweet girl how they sing to me 
The pinball lullabies
Have you heard of Owl Farm
Could you bring me in your car
It won't take long 

Let’s count the stars they’re few and far between 
I need to feel the hunger of the scene 

Shift drink crowding out the edge bar 
young love locking eyes   
Have you heard of Owl Farm
Could you bring me in your car
It won't take long 

Let’s count the stars they’re few and far between 
I need to feel the hunger of the scene 

Shift drink crowding out the edge bar 
young love locking eyes   
Have you heard of Owl Farm
Could you bring me in your car
It won't take long

There’s nothing more beautiful than everything in its place
Shelves lined with Dramamine and toothpaste 
And the stock boy smiles because the day is done
He can go home to his one and only 
His only one 

And nothing feels better than just tearing off the tape
Brushes touching up the molding by the staircase 
And the painter smiles the first coat is done 
He can go home to his one and only 
His only one

There ain’t a lighthouse you could find
Or any highway exit sign
Shining brighter than the one that gets me home 
Shining brighter than the one that gets me home 

The mover claps his hands as the final wall is bare 
And the echo hit his eardrums like a fanfare 
Then he cracks a smile because the job is done
He can go home to his one and only
His only one

Lilacs and daffodils and stripes of fresh cut grass
All for the hundred dollar bill under the doormat 
And the gardener smiles the big house is done
He can get home to his one and only
His only one

There ain’t a lighthouse you could find
Or any highway exit sign
Shining brighter than the one that gets me home 
Shining brighter than the one that gets me home 

My strings feel looser on the last song of the night 
As I sing my final lyrics to the spotlight
I can’t help but smile when the show is done
Because I can go home to my one and only 
My only one
Yeah I can get home to my one and only
My only one

There’s a light 
And it shines in my window at night
And it’s bright
And I just can’t shut it off
No matter how hard I try 
Last June on a cool afternoon 
I climbed to the top of the pole with a pushbroom
And just kept hitting that light 
But couldn't even put a crack in the bulb and 

Maybe I'm too scared to leave it alone  
Or too damn tired from it keeping me up
But I’m starting to think I should let it just 
Shine on through night 
After all it’s just a light 

And there’s a river 
And it’s running on the property line 
And it’s mine 
And I just can’t slow it down
No matter how hard I try
Last July with a storm in the sky
I built me a damn out of driftwood and rail ties
And just kept piling them high 
But the current so strong it kept rushing along and 

Maybe I'm too scared to leave it alone  
Or too damn tired from it keeping me up
But I'm starting to think I should learn to just take what it’s gonna give 
After all it’s just a river 

So don’t go breaking your own heart just leave it be
I found a light and the light found me
And when the days become too dark to even see
I close my eyes and the light finds me

And there's a clock 
And it’s a tick tick ticking along
Like a song 
And I just can’t fall asleep
No matter how hard I try 
On a hot August night I woke in a sweat 
I ripped out the batteries I’ll never forget 
Because the clock kept ticking along
Was I caught in a dream all along 

And maybe I'm too scared to leave it alone  
And too damn tired from it keeping me up
But I’m starting to think I should let it just spin right till it stops
After all it’s just a clock
