Above The Chinese Restaurant

I still freeze when I look at these faded photographs from February
 Last 22nd or 23rd
 Shared some dumplings, whispered some words
 We had two, maybe three bucks saved
 Between us sat in blankets on the floor
 Used to wish for money in rain
 A west side apartment, paper plane
 Ooh, then you left in May
 Took the wrong long way back home
 Wish I'd known that I had all I could want
 In our tiny apartment above the Chinese restaurant
 Street sounds blistered with neon lights
 Heard the neighbors snoring every other night
 Eating dumplings from next door
 Finish 'em up, they'd give us some more
 Didn't realize we had it all
 Even when the roof came caving in that fall
 Oh, I loved you more than you know
 Covered in flakes of crystal white snow
 Ooh, then you left in May
 Took the wrong long way back home
 Wish I'd known that I had all I could want
 In our tiny apartment above the Chinese restaurant
 
 Ooh
