I saw her first on Thursday
In Brooklyn at the health food store
She had a flower in her hair
And rain stained the dress she wore
And I thought while I'm in town
Why not try and have some fun
And lay down my burden for awhile
It won't always be so easy, I won't ever be so young
And I helped her take her groceries back home
We passed Friday with pictures
Down by the water side
I pose as a tiger
And she takes on a fierce mountain lion
And after my show at night we head back to her home
And end up talking about the people that we've loved
And lying in the dark, I could not escape the thought
There was a reason that's what we'd been talking of
Saturday I started thinking
Maybe she was something I could keep
We never left her apartment
We rarely left the room where she sleeps
And later on the roof, looking out on man's big earth
For once I didn't feel so alone
And for the first time in awhile, I managed to smile
And imagine a place that I could call home
Sunday I came to somewhere on the road to Baltimore
Can you wake me up, brother when we're headed back to New York
