Day For Night

When the moon dissolves into the sky

Like the shine in your dilated eye

Miles from me sobriety stands

With a hammer in his hand

And we roll down the street like a pair of coins

That fell from the place where your jeans are torn

And you smile at me with your wine-stained teeth and say

Let's take the train

To a quiet place i know where we can be alone

Where the shore meets the sea meets the sun

And although we should be tired

The day has just begun

Well the train doors close and we collapse

As my head sinks down onto your lap

And we're talking about nothing just to keep

From falling asleep

Well the ringing in my mind is amplified

From the music of the night and that stuff we tried

But retreating is the feeling

Like the tide that's no longer high

Just three stops to go

Till we're out on the road

Where the shore meets the sea meets the sun

And although we're winding down it's clear

The day is young

Well we stare at the sun and talk about

How long it will be until it burns out

When its fire retires will be

Be around to see

For all we know it could be that day

And if it is i hope its final ray

Kisses your eyelids before we are shown to the door

Lay your head down in my hands

Among the diamonds in the sand

Where the shore meets the sea meets the sun

And we drift into dream

The day carries on
