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...
