I rode my bike to my stepsister's wedding
and in my backpack was designer bedding
and a gift certificate for a cd or for a cassette

I only but once met her new guy
and the good news to me is he seems shy
maybe he'll help me find a new job
this ride that I'm on is all done
all over and done
if the wildest boar couldn't see me
then why does boredom at home see me so clearly
like a flashlight in the campfire that fade
forgetting the plans that I made
the plans that I made
so I grabbed my bike, I said goodbye and I left the wedding
I didn't get far for how cold it was getting
as I slept in a pile of leaves
I dreamt you were there next to me
you were there next to me
as I shivered that night in the leaves
I dreamt you were warm next to me
you were warm next to me
