A Song for Lisa
by Joshua Perahia

Album: The Hand Is Quicker Than the Eye

A gentle breeze in a quiet place

Please stop the sun and make it stay

I need her light and it's warm embrace

My distant friend wants to fade away

Fade away

You carried me through the rock and roll

And never really had much to say

The years went by as they took their toll

And now we're stronger in every way


I'm like the sea when the weather's rough

There's no one here who can make me tame

A lot of change has made me tough

But over all I'm still the same

Think of the days we stood as two

Think of the nights you pulled me through

Think of all the times you were there
In a plane and looking down


Another city or so it seems

Flashing lights are all around

Beautiful girls and limousines

A patient smile and a telegram


A Sunday thought for your balcony

You often wonder just who I am

I often wonder just where I'll be

Think of the days we stood as two

Think of the nights you pulled me through

Think of all the times you were there...
