Lyrics

It gets so dark before the dawn That's when it gets to me Before the city symphony of taxi horns That's the way it always starts Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart Last night I thought I heard my name Well, it was too dark to see, but it had to be The voice was just the same That's the way it always starts Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart So tell me why should it have to be this way? Why can't it be all right? Why can't I sleep at night? Why should it have to be this way? Why must there be this price to pay? Now all the streets are dark and bare Oh, if you can live in this town And stick around, you can live anywhere That's the way it always starts Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
