"Charlie Parker Loves Me" lyrics

Silent as a willow tree
This road moves like a, a river to me
Sun goes down on Wisdom Street
Break the glass and throw away the key

Somewhere out where the fates collide (collide)
Cigarettes and candlelight
I sit here in the lone café
So stripped away (oh, oh)
So stripped away

Ah, huh
Huh huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah

Everybody knows
I'm your street-corner Romeo
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me

Sit with me forever more
Is the draft too cold when they open door
Seem to me whenever you're drunk
And we'll drift away, drift away (drift away)

Ah, huh
Huh huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah

Everybody knows (everybody)
I'm your street-corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh)

I feel your heart beat underneath my skin
Like a New Orleans night
But the rain can't get in
So red-hot dig the beat up underneath a cool, cool night
And the glass moonlight of spring

Everybody knows (ooh)
I'm your street-corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows (know, yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags

Everybody knows (everybody knows)
I'm your street-corner Romeo, yes, I am
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody knows (yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh)

Everybody knows
(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie)
I'm your street-corner Romeo
(Bird is fly high tonight)
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me

Everybody knows yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Fly away, Charlie)
I'm your street-corner Romeo
(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie) oh, yeah-eh
Everybody knows
(Everybody, everybody knows)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me
