From the recording Suitcases by the Door

Lyrics

SUITCASES BY THE DOOR

CHORUS:

Taxi in the driveway, engine on the track
Airplane on the runway, never coming back
Seems there’s always someone who can’t take it anymore
Seems there’s far too many suitcases by the door

He’s down on the corner buying love by the pound
She dines on her paper romance, doesn’t care if he’s around
Once they walked together and loved on common ground
But now he’s on the corner buying love by the pound

And there’s a taxi in the driveway, engine on the track
Airplane on the runway, never coming back
Seems there’s always someone who can’t take it anymore
Seems there’s far too many suitcases by the doors

The promises of yesterday are little specks of dust
They’ve given up on honesty and thrown away the trust
They’ve both got too much stubborn pride to turn it all around
So he turns to the arms of the woman selling love by the pound

And there’s a taxi in the driveway, engine on the track
Airplane on the runway, never coming back
Seems there’s always someone who can’t take it anymore
Seems there’s far too many suitcases by the doors
