[00:00:00] Sequel (LP Version) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:00] Written by：Harry Chapi/Howard/Ron Albert/Stephen Chapin/Mike Lewis

[00:00:00] So here she's actin' happy

[00:00:04] Inside her handsome home

[00:00:08] And me I'm flyin' in my taxi

[00:00:11] Takin' tips and gettin' stoned

[00:00:21] I got into town a little early

[00:00:24] Had eight hours to kill before the show

[00:00:28] First I thought about

[00:00:29] Heading up north of the bay

[00:00:31] Then I knew where I had to go

[00:00:37] I thought about taking a limousine

[00:00:40] Or at least a fancy car

[00:00:44] But I ended up taking a taxi

[00:00:48] 'Cause that's how I got this far

[00:00:53] You see ten years ago it was the front seat

[00:00:57] Drivin' stoned and feelin' no pain

[00:01:01] Now here I am straight and sittin' in the back

[00:01:05] Hitting sixteen parkside lane

[00:01:19] The driveway was the same as I remembered

[00:01:22] And a butler came and answered the door

[00:01:26] He just shook his head when I asked for her

[00:01:30] And said she doesn't live here anymore

[00:01:37] But he offered to give me the address

[00:01:41] That they were forwarding her letters to

[00:01:45] I just took it and returned to the cabbie

[00:01:47] And said I got one more fare for you

[00:01:56] And so we rolled back into the city

[00:01:59] Up to a five store old brownstone

[00:02:03] I rang the bell that had her name on the mailbox

[00:02:07] The buzzer said somebody's home

[00:02:20] And the look on her face as she opened the door

[00:02:24] Was like an old joke told by a friend

[00:02:27] It'd taken ten more years but she'd found her smile

[00:02:31] And I watched the corners start to bend

[00:02:37] And she said how are you harry

[00:02:41] Haven't we played this scene before

[00:02:44] I said it's so good to see you sue

[00:02:48] Had to play it out just once more

[00:02:52] Play it out just once more

[00:03:05] She said I've heard you flying high on my radio

[00:03:08] I answered it's not all it seems

[00:03:12] That's when she laughed and she said it's better sometimes

[00:03:16] When we don't get to touch our dreams

[00:03:27] That's when I asked her where was that actress

[00:03:31] She said that was somebody else

[00:03:34] And then I asked her why she looked so happy now

[00:03:38] She said I finally like myself

[00:03:44] At last I like myself

[00:04:15] So we talked all through that afternoon

[00:04:19] Talking about where we'd been

[00:04:22] We talked of the tiny difference

[00:04:25] Between ending and starting to begin

[00:04:29] We talked because talking tells you things

[00:04:33] Like what you really are thinking about

[00:04:37] But sometimes you can't find what you're feeling

[00:04:40] Till all the words run out

[00:04:51] So I asked her to come to the concert

[00:04:55] She said no I work at night

[00:04:58] I said we've gotten too d**n good at leaving sue

[00:05:02] She said harry you're right

[00:05:13] Don't ask me if I made love to her

[00:05:17] Or which one of us started to cry

[00:05:21] Don't ask me why

[00:05:22] She wouldn't take the money that I left

[00:05:24] If I answered at all I'd lie

[00:05:37] So I thought about her as I sang that night

[00:05:41] And how the circle keeps rolling around

[00:05:44] How I act as I'm facing the footlights

[00:05:48] How she's flying with both feet on the ground

[00:05:53] I guess it's a sequel to our story

[00:05:57] From the journey between heaven and hell

[00:06:02] With half the time thinking of what might have been

[00:06:05] And half thinkin' just as well

[00:06:11] I guess only time will tell
