lyrics

Susie smiles, what's your sign?
I can read the stars for you
Sit high atop my stony roof
and whisper to the gods for you

Like winters pass
through the hourglass
I pick up my hat
and stroll back home

Alissa frowns, please sit down
let me read your palm for you
Spring shall bring a stranger around
I think he'll change your world for you

He'll write you poems
He'll sing you songs
He'll sleep with you
in your candle room

Jennifer cries, don't walk by
let me read your cards for you
The queen of cups is upside down
she's trying to get a message through

You move too swift
You change too quick
So please slow down
Just look around
this is your town

Mary laughs, please come back
I swear I'll read these runes for you
And I'll be glad to give your money back
if what I say does not come true

You'll meet this guy
with deep blue eyes
He'll make you smile
He'll read you mind
He'll keep your dime

So, come on smile, what's your sign
I can read the stars for you
Sit high atop my stony roof
and whisper to the gods for you
whisper to the gods for you
whisper to the gods for you
then stroll back home
