Book Of Saturday

If I only could deceive you
 Forgetting the game
 Every time I try to leave you
 You laugh just the same
 'Cause my wheels never touch the road
 And the jumble of lies we told
 Just returns to my back to weigh me down
 We lay cards upon the table
 The backs of our hands
 And I swear I like your people
 The boys in the band
 Reminiscences gone astray
 Coming back to enjoy the fray
 In a tangle of night and daylight sounds

 All completeness in the morning
 Asleep on your side
 I'll be waking up the crewmen
 Banana-boat ride
 She responds like a limousine
 Brought alive on the silent screen
 To the shuddering breath of yesterday
 There's the succour of the needy
 Incredible scenes
 I'll believe you in the future
 Your life and death dreams
 As the cavalry of despair
 Takes a stand in the lady's hair
 For the favour of making sweet 16

 You make my life and times
 A book of bluesy Saturdays
