Some Journey Lyrics

 Suzanne Vega
 
 If I had met you on some journey
 Where would we be now
 If we had met some eastbound train
 Through some black sleeping town
 
 Would you have worn your silken robes
 All made of royal blue?
 Would I have dressed in smoke and fire
 For you to see through?
 
 If we had met in a darkened room
 Where people do not stay
 But shadows touch and pass right through
 And never see the day
 
 Would you have taken me upstairs
 And turned the lamplight low?
 Would I have shown my secret self
 And disappeared like the snow?
 
 Oh, I could have played your little girl
 Or I could have played your wife
 I could have played your mistress
 Running danger down through you life
 
 I could have played your lady fair
 All dressed in lace like the foam from the sea
 I could have been your woman of the road
 As long as you did not come back home to me
 
 But as it is, we live in the city
 And everything stays in place
 Instead we meet on the open sidewalk
 And it's well I know your face
 
 We talk and talk, we tell t
There are no shadows here
 But when I look into your eyes
 I wonder what might have been here
 
 Because if I had met you on some journey
 Where would we be now?
