It's another door slammed and bolted
It's one more window locked
You were on your way back home and
Now you're not
With my fingers I form a steeple
In such a way when I open my hands
There's no one home
Then I call your number
Just to hear your message on the phone

Maybe next month
Maybe next year
Oh my oh my it's been a long long time

I plan. God laughs

Here's another faded photo
In the year before things changed
I took hard that betrayal
Of an old friend, now estranged
How could I be so mistaken
Why couldn't I see in all that time
I'd been walking a wire?
Or that I'd be one of many who
Got torched in his scorched-earth fire

I thought by now
He'd come around
All would be forgiven 'cos
Love would break us down

I planned. God laughed

I planned. God laughed

The day's as restless as a land-locked sailor
Anxious to move on from old history
His baggage is ready and stacked
Against the wall with a yellowing map
And he's dreaming of a whispering sea

You'll dig a hole to China
Said my younger days
And die before you get old
Go out in a glorious blaze
I won't be aloof like my father
Rest his soul, or like my mother
Worried about too many things
Pull myself up by my boot-straps
Be an optimistic dancer in the rain

Maybe next week,
Sometime this year
These things don't happen over night

God plans. I laugh
God plans. I laugh

God plans. I laugh

God plans. I laugh
