Jane Siberry - The Taxi Ride

it's clear to me now
I understand
a jump of cards
in an idle man's hand
ohhh...you're sleeping
this is the story
of your leaving

I can win you with reason
I can make you agree
the way that I love you
it only makes sense
that you love me but down through the sad facts I'm sifting
you did not think this
without help from me

I've called a taxi
it's coming at dawn
I said send the best one
it's a long, long, lonely ride
to find the perfect lover for your lover
and the morning light is breaking

I thought I heard someone screaming outside
but it was just a bus pulling away
