Some Journey-Suzanne Vega

[00:39.12]If I had met you on some journey [00:43.83]Where would we be now [00:47.61]If we had met some eastbound train [00:51.90]Through some black sleeping town [00:56.28]Would you have worn your silken robes [01:05.67]All made of royal blue? [01:06.09]Would I have dressed in smoke and fire [01:10.26]For you to see through? [01:22.32]If we had met in a darkened room [01:26.58]Where people do not stay [01:30.90]But shadows touch and pass right through [01:36.60]And never see the day [01:39.57]Would you have taken me upstairs [01:43.92]And turned the lamplight low? [01:46.56]Would I have shown my secret self [01:52.83]And disappeared like the snow? [02:07.71]Oh, I could have played your little girl [02:09.87]Or I could have played your wife [02:14.43]I could have played your mistress [02:18.24]Running danger down through you life [02:23.19]I could have played your lady fair [02:27.24]All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea [02:31.95]I could have been your woman of the road [02:35.91]As long as you did not come back home to me [02:49.02]But as it is, we live in the city [02:53.82]And everything stays in place [02:57.51]Instead we meet on the open sidewalk [03:02.04]And it's well I know your face [03:06.30]We talk and talk, we tell the truth [03:11.31]There are no shadows here [03:15.03]But when I look into your eyes [03:19.47]I wonder what might have been here? [03:23.73]Because if I had met you on some journey [03:28.32]Where would we be now?
