The first time that i called you in that old new york hotel

It was halloween all over with that trick you played so well

I woke you up from dreaming singing songs of yesterday

We took a drive to newport to hear st. peter play



Chorus:

Dust on you mouth, legends on your mind

Hanging out with bogart in some bygone place and time

Sing me your sweet changes when i'm feeling down and blue

And i'll treasure precious hours that i stole away with you



Oh the muggy nights in soho, i had so much to learn

You gave me wings to fly away and asked for no return

Lon chaney's ghost beside you wore the face of mickey finn

And i never once suspected that you and he were friends



The last that i saw you you weren't really even there

I cried when i heard you come across out on the air

You bid your last farewell just like your first hello

And i'll always think about you when i pass through ohio
