Lamplight

It's dark and it's a long way down

She said as she lay her head on the pillow

I took one step back

And I retired to evening

And the movie made me feel as if I wasn't here at all

And I drove home and I wound up all the windows in my car

In the lamplight I breathe

But the dark is falling in the garden over everything

John, I'm waiting for a morning filled with sunlight

When we can both drive away

Shake the dust right off my shoes

With younger friends and skies of blue like yesterday

John, I'm waiting for a morning filled with sunlight

When we can both drive away

Laughing friends and silent rides

And all the lovers that we lost are found again

I've been out walking in the verges and the quiet

Through all the traffic and the movement of the night

And the lamplight froze

Stopping so suddenly, hearing the dim radio
