The Street Parade

When I was waiting for your phone call

The one that never came

Like a man about to burst

I was dying of thirst

Though I will never fade

Or get lost in this daze

Though I will disappear

And join the street parade

It's not too hard to cry

In these crying times

I'll take my broken heart

And take it home in parts

But I will never fade

Or get lost in this daze

Though I will disappear

And join the street parade

I was in this place

The first church of the city

I saw tears on the face

The face of a visionary

Though I will disappear

To join the street parade

Disappear and fade

Into the street parade
