about

I took an online songwriting MOOC course run by the Berklee School of Music and the instructor's case study was this song he had written called "Hobo Wind." The song was good and all but I could never listen to it without thinking about farts.

FYI, if you ever see a Venn diagram drawn on a wall it means "Hoboes arrested on sight." I learned this from this page: www.worldpath.net/~minstrel/hobosign.htm
"For more fabulous, informative Hobo information use these links. There are none better on the entire internet."

lyrics

I saw you on that TV show
And you looked into my eyes
I saw you wore that red jacket
The one you know I like
And on the wall by the bus stop
I found a message with my name
Well I, I know you're out there
And I'll wait

And on your latest album
All the words on track six
Converted into numbers
Form the number of the house where I live
In the basement of the thrift shop
I found a letter with my name
Well I, I know you're out there
And I'll wait

And I, I was the only one
Chosen to save you
Did you see it written in the clouds?
I need you too

I saw you in that magazine
Morse code kerning spelled out my name
I understood what you meant there
We are the same, we are the same
And in the leaves in the gutter
I found a golden dove with my name
Well I, I know you're coming
And I'll wait

And I, I was the only one
Chosen to save you
Did you see it written in the clouds?
I need you too

I'll wait
