It was raining hard in Frisco, I needed one more fare to make my night. A lady up ahead waved to flag me down, She got in at the light. Oh, where you going to, my lady blue, Its a shame you ruined your gown in the rain. She just looked out the window, and said Sixteen Parkside Lane. Something about her was familiar I could swear Id seen her face before, But she said, Im sure youre mistaken And she didnt say anything more. It took a while, but she looked in the mirror, And she glanced at the license for my name. A smile seemed to come to her slowly, It was a sad smile, just the same. And she said, How are you Harry? I said, How are you Sue? Through the too many miles and the too little smiles I still remember you. It was somewhere in a fairy tale, I used to take her home in my car. We learned about love in the back of the Dodge, The lesson hadnt gone too far. You see, she was gonna be an actress, And I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the footlights, And I took off to find the sky. Oh, Ive got something inside me, To drive a princess blind. Theres a wild man, wizard, Hes hiding in me, illuminating my mind. Oh, Ive got something inside me, Not what my lifes about, Cause Ive been letting my outside tide me, Over till my time, runs out. Babys so high that shes skying, Yes shes flying, afraid to fall. Ill tell you why babys crying, Cause shes dying, arent we all. There was not much more for us to talk about, Whatever we had once was gone. So I turned my cab into the driveway, Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns. And she said we must get together, But I knew itd never be arranged. And she handed me twenty dollars, For a two fifty fare, she said Harry, keep the change. Well another man might have been angry, And another man might have been hurt, But another man never would have let her go... I stashed the bill in my shirt. And she walked away in silence, Its strange, how you never know, But wed both gotten what wed asked for, Such a long, long time ago. You see, she was gonna be an actress And I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the footlights, And I took off for the sky. And here, shes acting happy, Inside her handsome home. And me, Im flying in my taxi, Taking tips, and getting stoned, I go flying so high, when Im stoned.
