Oh milky white
Ran through the night
Drunk on summer's new moonlight
You played a song
I played a song
Bluegrass and thrashing
All night long

I'm stumbling down
Elizabeth Street
Grinning 'cause I was indiscreet
I'm thinking about
Your naked feet

And on the train
A man in a brown
Jimmy Durante suit
Clutched a rose
That he found growing
Back in 1942

I will hold a flower for you
Blooming with the power of you
I know I'm moving away from you

Chorus
There always comes a time
Mayflower
Just around the corner
All the time
Time to go, time to fly
Mayflower
A desperado bone
Was growing in my shoulder
All the time

There's a crime
Inside your smile
It makes me nervous
And it drives me wild
So I drove all night
Now it hurts to see
Another light in front of me

I'm broken
But I'm almost free
I'm running on the memories
The roses from Elizabeth Street
