Side Streets and Small Wonders

I got your name humming

like a wire above the street

A little spark from Madrid

keeps tapping in my beat

I may be far from your window

and you may be far from mine

But somewhere in the night air

our signals still align

I don’t need a map

I don’t need a sign

Something in my chest says

you are crossing my mind

There’s radar in the heart

and it never sleeps at night

It catches little echoes

and it turns them into light

Miles can play the distance

but they can’t keep us apart

You send your silent message

there’s radar in the heart

The kettle starts to singing

before the morning starts

And I swear the steam is rising

in the rhythm of your heart

The neighbors might say softly

that I’ve finally lost my mind

But every time you think of me

my soul gets better signed

No tower and no antenna

no engine and no chart

Just a foolish old blues runner

with a radar in his heart

There’s radar in the heart

and it never sleeps at night

It catches little echoes

and it turns them into light

Miles can play the distance

but they can’t keep us apart

You send your silent message

there’s radar in the heart

Maybe it’s the moonlight

maybe it’s the wires

Maybe love goes traveling

through invisible fires

Maybe I just laugh too much

at things I cannot prove

But every time you cross my thoughts

the whole room starts to move

So if you hear me joking

like I don’t take this deep

Don’t believe the smiling noise

I carry what I keep

A road song can be happy

and still tell the honest part

I don’t need to see the signal

I’ve got radar in the heart

There’s radar in the heart

and it never sleeps at night

It catches little echoes

and it turns them into light

Madrid can keep your footsteps

and this town can hold my part

But something keeps on calling

there’s radar in the heart

Yeah something keeps on calling

there’s radar in the heart
