Streetlights Lyrics

Where's that angel with dirty knees
who wasn't hard to please when we first met?
She don't act like she needs me now
and she don't even seem to be upset.
Maybe I cover too much ground,
I've been from town to town since I grew up.
Could my dreams take up too much space?
I'll never find a place that's big enough.

The chairs go up on the bar now,
and the table lights go black,
So I order one last double
and start calling people back.
Marc sounds good, he's been working hard.
Couldn't punch a card to save his life.
Says he's glad that he quit the road,
he says he's getting old, he missed his wife.
Little Em's been asleep since nine,
I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is.
Dad won't answer his phone at night,
but I guess that's alright, the place is his.
horus
The chairs are up on the bar now
and they're asking me to leave,
So I give the girl a bill
and start rolling down my sleeves.
In my pocket directions back
across the railroad tracks to where I crash.
Maybe I should wave down a car,
I won't be going far, and I have cash.
Think I blocked just a park away,
but I can't really say, it's been all night.
How I wish you would call me here,
but you just disappeared, it wasn't right.
horus
And the streetlights help a little,
but they're barely half alive
I don't feel much like walking
and I sure as hell can't drive.
Close your eyes and remember this.
It won't be back again, it's almost gone.
Even times that don't seem like much
will be your only crutch when you're alone.
Time moves slow when you're seventeen
and then it picks up steam at twenty-one.
Pretty soon you'll remember when
you could remember when you loved someone.
