Ricochet in Time - Shawn Colvin

I’ve been sleeping fair

Lately I could swear I’m thinking

Clearer and clearer

And I’ve been working hard

Looking at my punch card and

My mirror, my mirror

But I daydream in my room

I’m baying at the moon

Ricochet in time to the the music

You 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

You just let them

But I kill dreams in the chase

I slap love in the face

Ricochet in time to the music

You 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
