lyrics

As I recall, the dogs were singing with the moon
Inside the band was playing more or less in tune
And when it happened I was swinging to the drum
I poured myself another and just waited for the cops to come
The drawer was empty, and there were dishes on the floor
Poor old Daniel sitting stone-faced in the corner

And I'll be waiting for you
When it's over

I kissed you once on the old crooked stairs
Not quite knowing how I'd ever wound up there
Second-guessing til I'd turned myself around
After dark in a reckless part of town
You hung your dress on the balcony rail
Hail hammering down on the metal like a warning

And I'll be waiting for you
When it's over

The waves came hard on the old broken pier
And I don't know if I can take another winter here
I held my breath and I let the water win
It's just the way it is
It's just the way it is
It's just the way it is
It's just the way it is

It wasn't real, but I couldn't stop
They've been asking after you down at the shop
Where that detective, he just wiped his eyes and swore
Saying “boys there ain't no place for me around here anymore”
When I close my eyes, I hear the sound of the flood
Blood red sun spilled open on the water

And I'll be waiting for you
When it's over
