Bob Lind - Mister Zero lyrics
[Bob Lind - Mister Zero lyrics]
Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains
And ten-cent red roses from
Department store counters
Watching the moonlight reflect off the river
Beside where the trains cross the
Bridge and slow down
Trains with white letters and
Black iron sides
And wild rushing water that all rolls away
Little Miss Someone does not want to stay
Everyone's moving with places to go
And Mister Zero, he sadly stands still
As the water goes one way
The train goes another
Mister Zero stands still and
Miss Someone don't bother
The present moves out on
The sunset's crescendo
As seagulls of dawn set their
Wings to the air and fly without resting on
Outward bound breezes
To die where horizons are melting the dusk
The eyes of the summer are closing forever
The earth takes a breath to
Prepare for the fall
And Little Miss Someone won't
Pay for the call
The hand of the autumn undresses the trees
Mister Zero says please
Help me up off my knees
Miss Someone is speaking
The world will believe her
Mister Zero just nods and
Hangs up the receiver
Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow
As campfires of midnight dissolve
In the darkness the room is deserted
The blinds have been drawn
Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone
Fast moving cars disappear down the highway
With signs that say "Hi!"tchhikers
Do not disturb
Mister Zero looks quietly up from the curb
Morning has faded and shadows have grown
Little Miss Someone is on her way home
Mister Zero stands watching
Her plane flies above
And with frostbitten hands waves
Goodbye to his love
Walks through the park on
A bright summer Sunday
And tapestry kittens that hung on the wall
They all die in the air
Like a soft minor chord
A vacancy sign, a bulletin board
Mister Zero is wrapping his jacket around him
Speaking kind words that should have
Been said long ago
But Little Miss Someone does not want to know
The night is deserted
There's dust on the shelf
Mister Zero sit's lonely and talks to himself
But, it's too late to change
The fine line has been crossed
The charades are all done
Mister Zero has lost
And ten-cent red roses from
Department store counters
Watching the moonlight reflect off the river
Beside where the trains cross the
Bridge and slow down
Trains with white letters and
Black iron sides
And wild rushing water that all rolls away
Little Miss Someone does not want to stay
Everyone's moving with places to go
And Mister Zero, he sadly stands still
As the water goes one way
The train goes another
Mister Zero stands still and
Miss Someone don't bother
The present moves out on
The sunset's crescendo
As seagulls of dawn set their
Wings to the air and fly without resting on
Outward bound breezes
To die where horizons are melting the dusk
The eyes of the summer are closing forever
The earth takes a breath to
Prepare for the fall
And Little Miss Someone won't
Pay for the call
The hand of the autumn undresses the trees
Mister Zero says please
Help me up off my knees
Miss Someone is speaking
The world will believe her
Mister Zero just nods and
Hangs up the receiver
Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow
As campfires of midnight dissolve
