Cactusflower - John Gold

You phone around, but everyone’s staying home

Another night alone can make your head go spin

But the needles on the phonograph must be cursing:

«you gotta let it be»

In the brown of your wall you can hear another way

To make the west coast ladies do the eastside shake

As long as the one across town just can’t wait

Turns on her stereo

We can find something finer

Than some coins in a wishing well

All in good time, when wrong is right

And i’m another one, that’s what i mean

She said her soul is torn and her thinking not straight

Her patched up heart becoming worn and frayed

I got my needle and thread going all the right ways

Put on your party dress

All this time, it flies by mine

Let’s spend our whole life in a waiting room

Only to find your palm was right

There was no line for apologies

I am rain on

The dusted desert summertime

We will, we will

Not have to wait for long
