WHY AM I SAD TODAY
THE WAITRESS IS
CLEANING THE BAR
IT'S TWO IN THE MORNING
SHE OFFERS
SOME COFFEE TO ME
TURNS THE RADIO ON
THE CASTER IS SELLING
HIS VOICE TO THE NIGHT
THE COFFEE GETS COLD
IN A WHILE
THE OLD MAN BESIDE ME
IS GONE
HE SHOWED ME A BLUEPRINT
OF A HOUSE
HE WOULD BUILD
WITH THE MONEY
HE NEVER COULD SAVE
HIS FATHER IS BURIED
DOWN BY THE SEA
ONCE HE WAS YOUNGER
THAN ME

WHY AM I SAD TODAY
WHY AM I ON THE WAY
DOWN TO TEE BORDER-
NOT OVER THE LINE

WHY AM I SAD TODAY
WHY AM I ON THE WAY
DOWN TO THE LIMI OF TIME
I'M SLEEPLESS TONIGHT

TAKE ME AWAY
FROM THE GLOOM
I'M COLD
FROM THE INSIDE
THE WAITRESS HAS TURNED OF
THE LIGHTS
THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR
SHE'S PUT ON
HER COAT
AND ONCE IN A WHILE
THE LINES ON HER FACE
DISAPPEAR

WHY AM I SAD TODAY
WHY AM I ON THE WAY
DOWN TO THE BORDER-
NOT OVER THE LINE

WHY AM I SAD TODAY
WHY AM I ON THE WAY
DOWN TO THE LIMIT OF TIME
I'M SLEEPLESS
TONIGHT

OCEANS AWAKE AND
WALLS BREAK DOWN
WHEN YOU ARE THERE
YOU TAKE MY HAND
AND
YOU JUST LEAD ME
RIGHT OUT OF HERE

WHY AM I SAD TODAY
WHY AM I ON THE WAY
DOWN TO THE BORDER-
NOT OVER THE LINE

WHY AM I SAD TODAY
WHY AM I ON THE WAY
DOWN TO THE LIMIT OF TIME
I'M SLEEPLESS TONIGHT
