Some would let it go to start again
Knowing now how all our best intentions
Never lit the world on fire


And the lights illuminate the exit signs
Over the wings the skies and endless open sea

Crowding up, surrounding me

And all of Detroit waves goodnight

Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, I would


Well you're warm enough to share your sheets
Cold enough to make it seem

Like I was only there
Long enough to disappear


Well, I'll still say your name to fall asleep
Over and over a cynic saying rosary
A liar making make believe


And all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now

If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, I would
And Detroit waves


And Detroit waves
Comes around, around, around

Comes around, around, around
Comes around, around, around again


And all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change

Believe me I would, I would
And Detroit waves, Detroit waves
