It's a case I guess of paradise lost   Ten years back on the hands of the clock   In that little house on Mansfield   On your old block   Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got      Just you and me at a crossroads then   Ain't it funny how we were old friends   Accidentally thrown together   Did we intend   To be the romantic novel you never want to end      And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room   And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune   You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life   And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight'      In between the Star of David and the California moon   The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room   We were crazy, wild and running   Blind to the change to come   In that little house on Mansfield   We'd wake at the break of dawn   In an Indian summer gone      In the candlelight I can recall   Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall   Like a wild pony dancing   Along the wall   Off balance I found love the only place to fall
