When the skies come, to sweep up the floors
& the night comes, to open the doors
All blues are gone & the white lights are on,

while leaves dance a tango on somebody's lawn
On the rising, a pencil line, sandalwood shore


(Chorus)
And in the end, I'm going down swinging
Standing out in the pouring rain

All of our friends will be singing
The band plays "Long Black Veil" again?


When the day is done, & the skies move alive in your head
& the weight has come, an ocean of oranges & red
The sun's setting somewhere, so maybe we'll go there

we'll be there tomorrow while chasing today
I find amazement, lost in something you said


Chorus

You can't put it on, can't put it on

& then the night comes
it's time to go home?
