You were in love with the morning snowfall You were in love with outer space And you were in love with photographed flowers You were in love with baseball diamonds And now you miss Bicycle Laughing Street Until it is morning in the city You were in love with opera singing You were in love when they made the towers You were in love with Clara Rockmore You were in love with new apartments And now you miss Bicycle Laughing Street Until it is morning in the city How could you tell I've been longing For your death For you You were in love with the arctic ocean You were in love with photographed mountains And you were in love with the lives of pianos You were in love with Sarah on rooftops But tonight you miss Bicycle Laughing Street Until it is morning in the city How could you tell I've been longing For your death For you And in the darkness Every night I've known of the spark That swallowed the shadows I've wished I was with you Aboard an ocean liner Set sail for Europe but I know You would never need Someone for travelling So tonight you miss Bicycle Laughing Street And only the stars will see you leave
