Not Tonight

Every Saturday I wait For the footfalls In the hall Mother Mary At the wings And the ocean Is upon us Still wanna still run nowhere out here nothing moves at all Wood Smoke Joan and Quran We light up by the loadin' sun Every night I count the cracks Up on the backroom wall Fall into the fault line When I reach Across to you Cause even when you're here It's like there's no one else around I'm slipping on my tears I'm burning all my candles down Gemstone I remember When the spark went flat Wafer thin and You were singing In your midnight black Every night I count the cracks Up on the backroom wall Fall into the fault line When I reach Across to you Cause even when you're here It's like there's no one else around I'm slipping on my tears I'm burning all my candles down I stand on ceremony while the ship sinks Put the iceberg in my tall drink Waiting at the door like a lone pine Talking about the war at the hotel I stand on ceremony while the ship sinks Put the ice berg in my tall drink Waiting at the door like a lone pine Talking about the war through the night Seems like they're all coming down Or leaving There'll be nothing For no one To believe in Cause even when you're here It's like there's no one else around I'm slipping on my tears I'm burning all my candles down
