paroles de chanson Thought He'd Ask for a Dollar - Jesse Rivest

Are you going to India? he asked
I thought he'd ask me for a dollar

Standing at the airport in a mismatched suit and tie
He's not asking for our money; he's not begging for a ride
He says please can I come with you; would you help me board a plane?
Would you show me to a hotel room in a country far away?

Are you going to Syria? he asked
I thought he'd ask for their spare dimes

He said he's never really travelled; a poor blind man his long life
Now he's fallen into some money and he has a world of time
He wants to smell a distant ocean; feel the bark of unknown trees
Get dizzy in foreign tongues and use his own to taste new beers

Are you going to Monaco?

Are you going to... anywhere's fine with me
I won't see it but I just wanna be... just wanna be there!

I thought he'd ask me for a dollar
I thought he'd ask for their spare dimes

I thought he'd ask me for a dollar
I said I can't afford my time

I thought he'd ask me for a dollar
I might go back and change my mind
