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
