WATCHING THE SUN GO DOWN
Dawn breaking in like a rock through my window
Got splinters in my brain and glass on my pillow
You can’t find the keys to some kind of riddle
A dream about a girl in a daze by a river
Watching the sun go down
I’m just waiting for that light in your eyes
To burn these clouds away
Smash a hole through the ice in my veins
As it drains into another day
Saw you beat the tab at a hotel bar in Vegas
Had to see how far my credit card would take us
Wish I hadn’t given you the keys to my Camaro
Trying to get away turning left against the arrow
Watching the sun go down
No use implying what words don’t convey
There’s nothing wrong with having nothing to say
But I need to know
Had to let it go
Got to find a way to make you see
What this is doing to me
Slack jawed wonder as you tight rope out of danger
Tripping in your dreams on the foot steps of a stranger
Chasing shadows creeping through a forest of deception
Crawling in the darkness to the edge of your reflection
Watching the sun go down
I’m just tying to pull you out of this dive
And turn your head around
Find a way through this desert of dreams
Before we hit the ground
