|
It gets so dark before the dawn |
|
That's when it gets to me |
|
Before the city symphony of taxi horns |
|
That's the way it always starts |
|
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart |
|
Last night I thought I heard my name |
|
Well it was too dark to see, but it had to be |
|
The voice was just the same |
|
That's the way it always starts |
|
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart |
|
So tell me why should it have to be this way |
|
Why can't it be all right |
|
Why can't I sleep at night? |
|
Why should it have to be this way? |
|
Why must there be this price to pay? |
|
Now all the streets are dark and bare |
|
Oh, if you can live in this town |
|
And stick around, you can live anywhere |
|
That's the way it always starts |
|
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart |
