Superman

Dan Bern

Superman said I am weary

Superman said let's go home

The trees were strung with crosses and with ribbons

All the towns and churches had been bombed

Superman stood out in the rain

Leaning up against a crumbling wall

Still around were mostly cats and lepers

Birds no longer soared in the sky

Would you come away with me

Someday

Would you come away with me

Some fine day



Superman ducked into a phone booth

Made a call to Lois Lane

He said I will always love you

But it might just be too late in the day

Would you come away with me...
