Ricochet in Time Lyrics

Shawn Colvin

S. colvin
Ive been sleeping fair
Lately I could swear Im thinking
Clearer and clearer
And Ive been working hard
Looking at my punch card and
My mirror, my mirror
But I daydream in my room
Im baying at the moon
Ricochet in time to the the music
You just pick a day and Im in
A new destination
I take too many planes
I know too many names and i
Forget them
I wanted to know if dreams
Would lie
You said they would try and i
Said let them
You just let them
But I kill dreams in the chase
I slap love in the face
Ricochet in time to the music
You just pick a day and Im in
A new destination
I crawled up from the sewer
For something that was truer
Than I intended
I ended up on my knees
In this big city I was befriended
I transcended
But I bruise my friends for more
I rail at heavens door
Ricochet in time to the music
You just pick a day and Im in
A new destination
