Delancey Runway

Sweet Delancey be my runway, I'm ready now to take flight
Spring will be in bloom, just as I alight
On the bridge I'll find my smile, where I left it last
As the moments move into the past
I watch my present life fading fast
Fifth avenue you've been good to me
Could've killed me off instead
All the lives we lead are more interesting
Than the life we could've led
By the light of who we've been, we'll find ourselves again
Home is just the place where we start
Chasing our precious tails through the dark
Oh oh

I'm in that space between
Where I want to go and every place I've ever been
Deep in the feeling that I'm changing
In a cocktail conversation, it was all part of the plan but
That's ten years from now and makes no difference
In hindsight it always makes perfect sense

I fell in love or lust which I couldn't tell
'Till I found it in the flesh
All the sleepless nights bled to better days
In shades of happiness
And I've left my shadow all around
To chase when I return, no
Home is just the place where we start
Chasing our precious tails through the dark

I'm in that space between
Where I want to go and every place I've ever been
Deep in the feeling that I'm changing
In a cocktail conversation, it was all part of the plan but
That's twenty years from now and makes no difference
In hindsight it always makes sense

Ah sweet Delancey take me home
Ah on the bridge I felt alone
Ah sweet Delancey take me
Take me home
Ah

Sweet Delancey you're my runway
I'm ready now to take flight
Spring will be in bloom
Just as I alight
On the bridge I'll find my smile
Where I left it last
As the moments move in to the past
I watch my present life fading fast
