Counting Blue Cars ... Dishwalla

Must have bee mid-afternoon
I could tell by how far
the child’s shadow stretched out
and he walked with a purpose
in his sneakers
down the street
he had many questions
like children often do

He said "Tell me all your thoughts on God.
And tell me am I very far?"

Must have been late-afternoon
on our way the sun broke free of the clouds
and we count only blue cars
skip the cracks in the street
and ask many questions
like children often do

He said "Tell me all your thoughts on God
‘cause I’d really like to meet her
and ask Her why we’re who are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God
‘cause I’m on my way to see Her
so tell me am I very far?"

Its getting cold, pick up the pace
how our shoes make hard noises in this place
and our clothes are stained
we pass many
cross-eyed people
and ask many questions
like children often do

We say "Tell me all your thoughts on God
‘Cause I’d really like to meet Her
and ask Her why we’re who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God
‘cause I’m on my way to see Her
so tell me am I very far?"
