The Street Parade

When I was waiting for your phone call The one that never came Like a man about to burst I was dying of thirst Though I will never fade Or get lost in this daze Though I will disappear And join the street parade It's not too hard to cry In these crying times I'll take my broken heart And take it home in parts But I will never fade Or get lost in this daze Though I will disappear And join the street parade I was in this place The first church of the city I saw tears on the face The face of a visionary Though I will disappear To join the street parade Disappear and fade Into the street parade
