Alex Kahn - Lorelai

Walking down the quiet side
Of Nebraska Avenue
You set the pace and I abide
We're getting nowhere very soon
The same fire hydrant
The same patch of grass
The same barking migrants
Distract you as we pass

Lorelai, all the words I say to you
Slip away like red balloons
And get lost in the clouds
Lorelai, you know my sky is falling down
And you're the cover that I've found
So don't you ever leave

Some days I worry you'll get loose
And chase the squirrel that's taunting you
I've got a few gates on the stoop
A GPS collar to boot
Don't follow your paws
Don't chase that ball
Won't put a poster of your face
On the laundromat wall

Lorelai, all the words I say to you
Slip away like red balloons
And get lost in the clouds
Lorelai, you know my sky is falling down
And you're the cover that I've found
So don't you ever leave

As your lounging on the bed
Twitching your leg to a dream
I think of something I once read
About a dog who lived to be twenty-three
I research his diet
His exercise plan
I want you to try it
But you think it's too bland

One day when you have to go
I'll walk Nebraska all alone
Singing to you my sweet Lo
And taking pictures on my phone
Of your favorite dumpster
And subway stairs
I can't wait to show you
When I meet you up there

Lorelai, all the words I say to you
Slip away like red balloons
And get lost in the clouds
Lorelai, you know my sky is falling down
And you're the cover that I've found
So don't you ever leave
So don't you ever leave
So don't you ever leave
