The 1010 Blues
1986

look out the window, i'm a hundred feet high
the trees in the square sure look different at night
from way up here
and when i leave my shadow on your wall
i know you're gonna tell them all
about me
go ahead sing your little tunes
pretty soon, i'll start singing about you

but if you're gonna win,
you gotta be in the right place
you gotta be willing,
to go the distance
and if you ain't the one,
you ain't the one

last night i walked cold-wind streets of san francisco
and took the bus down to the shore
the moonlight was beautiful on the breakers
i've never seen it this way before
last night i wanted to tell you
that i'd just started to feel it, that lonesome feeling
i'm feeling a feeling,
and it's a good thing, good thing

in the "great american night" i decided where my home is
and it sure ain't where my old-town is
you said it all on the long distance phone
when you said, "baby, when are you coming home?!" (oooxx)
i'm feeling a feeling, and it's a good thing, good thing

look out the window, i'm a hundred feet high...
