Song Lyrics

Can I buy you an ice cream cone?
Call you every night on the telephone?
Until one day
I make my way
Up to the gate of your big stone house

Maybe some wine and candlelight
Or driving out late on a rainy night
Until I see
You smile at me
From the top-story window of your big
Stone house.

Now everybody seems to know your name
And all the world it seems can play your game
But I can't get by
No matter how I try
I fall down, fall down (in a rhythm the same)
Why?
Can I bring a pussy willow up to your door
Bang your piano 'til my wrists get sore
Until you smile
And let me in a while
Sittin' with you in your big stone house.

Will you come dance in a bar downtown?
And drink with me 'til we both fall down?
I'll drive and drive
'Til I finally arrive
Right up at the gate of your big stone house.

Now everybody seems to love your ride
And all the world it seems can come inside
But I can't get by
No matter how I try
I fall down, fall down (in a rhythm the same)
Why?
Can I buy you an ice-cream cone?
Can I have you all for my own?
Until I find
Some peace of mind
Up there on the stair of your big stone house.
