Like crippled ships that made it through the storms and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan s floor
I didn t feel so cold and tired stretched out before her fire
Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine
And I remember candle light and singing till we could not sing no more
And falling warm asleep on Susan s floor
Well now that my song is sweeter 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 morning I d go on buying kingdoms with my songs
Knowing I d be back in just a while warming in the sunlight of her smile
Well lots of time and songs have passed I catch myself 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 the storms and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan s floor
