Gordon Lightfoot
On Susan’s Floor
[Intro]
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor

[Verse 1]
Didn't feel so cold and tired
Stretched out before her fire
Rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine
And I remember candlelight
And singing till we could not sing no more
Then fallin' warm asleep on Susan's floor

[Verse 2]
Well, now that my song is sweeter
I think I'd like to greet her
And thank her for the favors that she gave
A stranger I came
My head bowed in the rain to her door
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor

[Bridge]
In the mornin' I'd go on
Buyin' kingdoms with my songs
Knowin' I'd be back in just a while
Warmin' in the sunlight of her smile
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, lots of time and songs have passed
I catch myself just looking back
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
That's where I'd be today
If I had only stayed one night more
And sang another song on Susan's floor

[Outro]
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
