Resolute Street

I walked away from my apartment building,

wild inside

Anticipating, thinking of, dreaming about,

obsessing

over the one that drives me wild,

coyote crazy, I can't stand still, I'm caught

Caught in her web, it's fatal

I'm fatalistic, say

All reason's slipped away

And I must go to see her, love awaits

on Resolute Street

Where colors and fragrances of flowers abound

Where sun rays are tangent and breezes sound

Now I'm on the hard luck street, I'm intrepid

I'm walking past bars, bad hotels and restaurants

where people speed-talk, there is causticity

There is madness I can get

I understand but, I won't

I will go to greener pastures, right to Oz

The cooler version

With romance on my mind, on her mind,

on other people's minds, we are magic

Ours is the kind that is tragic

For we passed each other in the night like ships

until we collided

Our eyes saw, our ears heard and our hearts felt

Our love makes an iceberg melt

Our love makes the stars shine bright

Our love is a candlelight

But, what am I saying, really now

I just know that I want you and I'm

wild inside

Anticipating, thinking of, dreaming about,

obsessing

over the one that drives me wild
