Northwestern Squall Line

When I think back on all the times I could have been with you

I wonder what important things stood in the way

And my mind expands contemplating astral physics

Metaphysically speaking I’m always gonna be your man

And a northwestern squall line movin’ mountains down to the ocean

is a little girl blowin’ her birthday candles out on the sand

you don’t need to worry you don’t need to understand

Well I’m always smilin’ in the precious moments that I am with you

And I know some day my daffy grin will simply betray

That I’m not just crazy for you baby I’m just crazy

But that doesn’t mean you didn’t help me along the way

And a northwestern squall line movin’ mountains down to the ocean

is a little girl blowin’ her birthday candles out on the sand

you don’t need to worry you don’t need to understand

You’re my rubber room baby in a yellow straight jacket for two now

And I don’t have much time as the little pills begin to assuage

But the chicken walks and my eyes begin to swim the meadow

And always remember that I was born and raised in a cage

And a northwestern squall line movin’ mountains down to the ocean

is a little girl blowin’ her birthday candles out on the sand

you don’t need to worry you don’t need to understand
