lyrics

I went back to Ithaca
went through the greenest pastures
lost among the cornfeilds, the rows of planted towers
you always were a runnaway, even with your ball and chain
and I went back to Ithaca to find you

Remember nights in the museum wing,
with all its ancient chivalry
the 3am security was drunk again
so i dream we're sleeping safe
in King Henry's bed again

but you were always out of your head on the things you didn't know
so when I turn my back you disappear like that New England April snow

when I went back to find you
you were passed out with your courtesan
sleeping fast for nowhere
with a needle and a pentagram
you always were a refugee
even when the fire ceased
and I went back to Ithaca to calm you

so with your violin bow, play the lights down through the trees
but when the music quiets you stand small with empty pockets
on these unfamiliar streets
