Lyrics

like crippled ships that made it, through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore, the homeless found a home on susan's floor, didn't feel so cold and tired, stretched out before her fire, rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine, and i remember candlelight, and singing 'til we could not sing no more, then fallin' warm asleep on susan's floor, well now that my song is sweeeter, i think i'd like to greet her, and thank her for the favors that she gave, a stranger i came, my head bowed in the rain to her door, i sat and sang my songs on susan's floor, in the mornin' i'd go on, buyin' kingdoms with my songs, knowin' i'd be back in just a while, warm in the sunlight of her smile, well lots of time and songs have passed, i catch myself just looking back, reliving all the wonder of those nights, that's where i'd be today, if i had only stayed one night more, and sang another song on susan's floor, like crippled ships that made it, through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore, the homeless found a home on susan's floor
