CROSSTOWN BUS - CURTIS BECRAFT AND THE DILETTANTES
I used to live the big time
I’d never find myself
in time to find
the reason why I came
so many things to try
so many miles to climb
I don’t know how we got here
but hello there just the same
will you stand beside me?
will you see me through?
will I find what I need
on the cross-town bus that takes me to you?
I woke up ten years late
I can appreciate the time
it takes to find
your way back home
we’re shaking off the past
this darkness will not last
the sun will come
and see how we have grown
will you stand beside me?
will you see me through?
will I find what I need
on the cross-town bus that takes me to you?
so come on now my good friends
it’s not the end it’s the beginning
of so many things
you never know what life can bring
you keep me close and tight
you keep me company at night
and I
will teach you songs to sing
will you stand beside me?
will you see me through?
will I find what I need
on the cross-town bus that takes me to you?
