on susan's floor

like crippled ships that made it

through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore

the homeless found a home on susan's floor

didn't feel so cold and tired

stretched out before her fire

rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine

and i remember candlelight

and singing 'til we could not sing no more

then fallin' warm asleep on susan's floor

well now that my song is sweeeter

i think i'd like to greet her

and thank her for the favors that she gave

a stranger i came

my head bowed in the rain to her door

i sat and sang my songs on susan's floor

in the mornin' i'd go on

buyin' kingdoms with my songs

knowin' i'd be back in just a while

warm in the sunlight of her smile

well lots of time and songs have passed

i catch myself just looking back

reliving all the wonder of those nights

that's where i'd be today

if i had only stayed one night more

and sang another song on susan's floor

like crippled ships that made it

through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore

the homeless found a home on susan's floor
