Black Cat Stephen And The Popcorn Man Lyrics

well its snowin again and what can I say

its been another one of them
nowhere days

and oh Id like to blame it all on the weather

theres
an old black cat out in the snow

black cat he dont know where to go

and I cant say Im doing any better 



and the popcorn man across
the street

hes standing there watching his popcorn freeze

and all
his shiny candy apples cracking

but hes not like me no he dont
complain

he just keeps at it in the snow and rain

stampin his feet
by his rickety painted wagon 



dont you know my friend Stephen

that the blues without a name

theyre the worst of all

Ive looked
for reasons and theres either

a thousand or theres none at all

hey
will you be there if I call 



now I know theres a lesson in the
popcorn man

with his turned-up collar and his raw red hands

but
somehow it doesnt offer much consolation

well if only life was like the
radio

then me and the black cat out in the snow

wed waste no time
tuning in to some other station 



oh are you listening to me
Stephen

can I come and stay with you until winters end

I know well
never be lovers

like we were back then again

but right now Id
settle for a good friend 



well its snowin again and what can I
say

its been another one of them nowhere days

and still I couldnt
tell you what it is Im lacking

(all I know is) once upon the sunshine
shone

but now the popcorn days are gone

and all those candy apple
dreams are cracking

thinking bout Stephen and the black cat

and the
popcorn man and me
