Fog Rolls In

It's like an ocean upside down

When the sky gets heavy

And I'm drownin' in the blackest blue

That's when we meet up

And sit cross-legged on the levee

To feel the spirits passin' through

From you to me is as far as I can see

The rest is pitch black

Just enough to see that I've been

Such a fool in all my lookin' back

Just enough to take the breath

That makes the time stop

And the healin' begin

On the nights when the fog rolls in

I hear sirens, voices in the distance

I'd walk for miles

But there ain't nothin' to see

High time that we rely on other senses

That's when I feel you closest to me

The city sleeps, and the river wraps herself a shroud around it

Quiet as a thief who leaves everything right where she found it

Screen door doesn't creak

Threadbare enough

She just floats back out again

On the nights when the fog rolls in

There was so much more

I'd hoped to show you

Just as sure she's gone

I know she'll be back again

On the nights when the fog rolls in

It's like an ocean upside down

When the sky gets heavy
