LYRICS:
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
Didn't feel so cold and tired
Stretched out before her fire
Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine
And I remember candlelight
And singing till we could not sing no more
Then falling warm asleep on Susan's floor
Well now that my song is sweeter
I think I'd like to greet her
And thank her for the favours that she gave
A stranger I came
My head bowed in the rain to her door
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor
In the morning I'd go on
Buying kingdoms with my song
Knowing I'd be back in just a while
Warming in the sunlight of her smile
Well lots of time and songs have passed
I catch myself just looking back
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
That's where I'd be today
If I had only stayed one night more
And sang another song on Susan's floor
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor

On Susan's Floor - written by Shel Silverstein & Vince Matthews. Gordon Lightfoot covered this song in fine style, on his "Don Quixote" album. Guitar used by me: Gibson J-35.
