Ricochet In Time Lyrics - Steady On - Shawn Colvin

I've been sleeping fair 

Lately I could swear I'm thinking 

Clearer and clearer 

And I've been working hard 

Looking at my punch card 

And my mirror, my mirror 

But I daydream in my room 

I'm baying at the moon 

Ricochet in time to the music 

You just pick a day 

And I'm in a new destination 

I take too many planes 

I know too many names 

And I forget them 

I wanted to know if dreams would lie 

You said they would try and I said, "Let them 

You just let them" 

But I kill dreams in the chase 

I slap love in the face 

Ricochet in time to the music 

You just pick a day 

And I'm in a new destination 

I crawled up from the sewer 

For something that was truer 

Than I intended 

I ended up on my knees 

In this big city I was befriended 

I transcended 

But I bruise my friends for more 

I rail at Heaven's door 

Ricochet in time to the music 

You just pick a day 

And I'm in a new destination
