Deep Space

  • Rickie Lee Jones


    These stars no one else can see
    Trapeze the height of thee, vanish as they call
    These blues no one else can hear
    No one else can sing this one for you
    Can they, dear?

    Things that you do are always with me
    You're laughing, you're always here
    What's the use in crying?
    It won't matter when we're old.

    This tear will finally fall
    Keep your eyes here
    When there's no net at all...
    Where the Lord's face is like an all-night cafe
    There's a woman who will wait on
    What you have to say
    Your dreams are like marbles
    In the pocket of a little boy
    And they whisper when you hold them
    Like a beautiful girl,
    Beautiful girl.
