Dear sister
I sing this letter to you
Hear it
Listen to me say
That this stone around my neck
Won't stop stop turning, no
And each turn takes me another mile away
And it won't tell me where I'm going
And it won't tell me where I've been
It won't tell me if I'll ever
Get back to you again
Won't you settle for this necklace
Strung from highways
Wear it
Listen to me say
That this fire behind my eyes
Won't stop burning, no
And until the flame is out
I can never stay
And it won't tell me where I'm going
And it won't tell me where I've been
And it won't tell me if I'll ever
Get back to you again
And it's always just the same
I go the door again
Keep moving
When the light starts growing dim
I've got to reach up
Quarter-rim of a beginning
But someday, somewhere
When these bitter days are over
Then the stories of my streets
Can cease their tellings
