Smile from the Streets You Hold

John Frusciante · Smile From The Streets You Hold [1997]

Its been so long

Since I felt the heat of the sun on my paw

You're the one who knows me at best

'Cause your

Always smile from the street

You hold my heart in my hands while I'm beat

Oh yer always on the decline

You take another sip of wine

A toast to us

Your the one with the stars



You hold the sign

For the one that you love

That you

That you



Run

You're the one in the sky when you go

You know your wind. The planets grow

Your in the sun, you face it to go
