Time leaves you behind

lyrics

Every morning, just once
I roll the dice
To see what amount of luck the day might hold
Then quietly I lay me down again
Wait for the day to unfold

This is pure gold auto repair blocks
Free cold bonded storage
Of some good working days
Cheap forgotten diners
Under every tired bridge
Paper homes scared you
But it's nothing but the wind

And nothing's wasted till it's undone
The words only come one and one
Never in pairs
The floor is creaking the limits of the day
Living in the frequency of the stairs

You'll need solid maturity
This fame won't last you
Cause people are working here
We're far from the center
Art Deco infinity and terminal stores
And you in the doorway
Waiting to enter

And time leaves you, time leaves you behind
Time leaves you, time leaves you behind

I wrap my sheets she's on my mind
Her wisdom hurts me more than mine
I'm confusing the issues all the time
I'm not sure I love her
But she's on my mind

Riding a cab uptown
Through empty Thanksgiving streets
Unlocking my own door again
But not wanting the urgency to go
Never seen the city so empty
Never seen it look so good
As when I asked the driver to turn around
And go back down looking for you

And time leaves you, time leaves you behind
Time leaves you, time leaves you behind
Time leaves you, time leaves you behind
