lyrics

I heard you built a swimming pool
And you call it your lagoon
You spend nights floating on your back
Gazing at the moon

Are you wishing on a star?
I bet you wish they weren’t so far
From that hamlet in New York
And that town you call Delmar

I took the train from Boston to New York
Rocking back and forth along the shore
Just past New Haven I start to understand
Why you up and left and changed your plans

I think you’re wishing on a star
You’ve got this new idea of who you are
That’s why you moved so far
To that town you call Delmar

You built a fence around your home
To keep the undesirables out
But I wonder if there’s something else you fear
Something in your heart that leads to doubt

We met downtown on Seventh Avenue
The Village Vanguard was alive
Between the sets you tried to explain
How serendipity is just a lie

We’re all wishing on a star
Trying to understand just who we are
While you drive in your car
To that town you call Delmar
