So I stay awake writing in the absence of my sleep I am one with the darkness on the outside walls And I can hear the cars go by and the sirens make a noise And I wonder who has died I wonder who has died
And I am waiting for your call; I am standing on the wall I am listening to everything and nothing at all And I hear your voice now. It is beautiful and loud Like a night owl waiting in the absence of my sleep You want me to say that word Oh, you want me to say that word
I apologize for last night I was absent and asleep But we have a lot of time to talk what’s going on with you? If you feel a little lonely come on get into my car And we’ll listen to the songs that you don’t like, but God, I do!
