lyrics

Stars are hanging heavy with light from up above
They're feeling lonely and far away from love
Far away in another galaxy that I used to walk in, see,
I missed the boat, and I missed my front yard slope
And I can't buy me no map, no star, no prayer to help me
Find my way home
I can't find my way home!
I missed that sidewalk strip and I missed that front yard dip
And I missed that left turn back there that would have taken me
Straight to Putnam Avenue!

Down on Magazine Street I turn left and I wound up
Deep in the heart of the Cambridge streets
Where it's always just a simple matter
Of being just a couple of blocks away from Putnam Avenue
Where the charms of Mary Magdalene
And the car-filled streets all call my name

I missed the boat, and I missed my front yard slope
And I can't buy me no map, no star, no prayer to help me
Find my way home
I can't find my way home!
I missed that sidewalk strip and I missed that front yard dip
And I missed that left turn back there that would have taken me
Straight to Putnam Avenue!
