sparks on the delaware

it's down to you and me
living here in poverty
got a dead-end steady job
going nowhere so far

and these songs, they don't pay the bills
it's more the spaces that they fill
cause if nothing else
you gotta know just who you are

you were standing in the street, crippled shy
the engine was warm, still ticking from the drive 
you were always slow to trust, a little quick to judge
and you still travel light 

i'm still headstrong just like my dad
but i'm sweet like my mom, just not as sad 
i've got my aim on something between
just trying to turn out right

so if it were up to you what would you say
would you stay with me until new year's day 
to watch the sparks fall to the delaware
in the middle of the night.
