Lyrics
Miss Allen frets because she's out of cigarettes Sings to herself when she can't be heard She knows the melody, but she don't know the words Says that she spent the Ice Age in a cave Saint John says, "I think that's a pity" She just replies, "Well... it was better than this city" She saw the wind dash down those paper lanterns She saw the river wash them away She lit the fire, but he walks into the ashes Everyday It's getting late, Doctor Owen should be going But the pilot grabs his arm and he buys another round He'd like to explain about the sky and the ground And the life that he led and the planes overhead That the pilot once flew before Scotch replaced water He thinks of Miss Allen and the ring he once bought her She saw the wind dash down those paper lanterns She saw the river wash them away She lit the fire, but he walks into the ashes Everyday
