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
