lyrics

Way out on the fringes of this sprawling highway city,
Out along the line of suburban rows.
A woman sits alone staring long and drinking coffee
Waiting for a man to take her home.

Hanging in the deep, dark corners of her fading memory
A promise sits and waits to be exposed
As a lie, perhaps, or in satisfaction of a story
Told to her a long, long time ago.

And he said, I’ll be back to see you in the morning sitting pretty
Here among your clutter and your clothes.
Time will come and time will pass and we’ll no longer worry
When I’m with you again, forever close.

Sitting down to breakfast she’s smoked half a pack already
To her mind comes a line of someone else’s prose:
“When you sit and wonder why you’ll find a little pain and a little beauty:
A thorn goes deep but it’s nothing without the rose.”

And he said, I’ll be back to see you in the morning sitting pretty
Here among your clutter and your clothes.
Time will come and time will pass and we’ll no longer worry
When I’m with you again, forever close.

And from her memory comes the image of a man but it is hazy.
Time is a destructive force, she knows.
Both she and he are fading from the present and her body
Is moving on from him and into focus.

And he said, I’ll be back to see you in the morning sitting pretty
Here among your clutter and your clothes.
Time will come and time will pass and we’ll no longer worry
When I’m with you again, forever close.
