lyrics

late at night, lights are out, our little earth spins itself and children are tucked away
moon is up, the street's a mirror, the wind blows cold and the drunks are bitter
there's something on my back
I think I'll take it for a swim from the sewer to the salt and back again
I'm on my way, lady you can wait
oh it lies in my eyes, the things I could do
you wear on me, I wear you like a rusty diamond battle tooth
I put inside that mountain every time
here's the story, are the letters calling, did you wash your face after all that crawling
give it to me and I'll put it back in its place
and don't forget to call, I don't want to miss you at all
oh to see you waiting at the end of a line that I cannot cross
with arms as big as the world
I can't wait for you to hold me girl
nothing seems to reach you from this end
and I can't wait for you girl
and I'm almost there, I'm almost there
nothing seems to reach you from this end
no I can't wait for you girl
and I'm almost there
