As the cat stalks through the night
on padded feet through the cold moonlight,
I've seen visions of an angel's face
while the ghosts of tomorrow gone to waste.
I'd follow you anywhere,
leave a trail of breadcrumbs through your hair,
and loneliness, like time, just drags on.
Day breaks through like a nighttime scream,
and I'm still somewhere in between
early last night, and late last week
like a hard-up gambler on a losing streak,
it doesn't seem to matter what I do.
Well I do my best just for you,
and I sit and play my songs with the curtains drawn.
And loneliness, like time, just drags on.
Yeah, loneliness, like time, just drags on.
I believe you wanted me just like I wanted you.
Someday, we'll slip away. Make our escape, just us two.
And we'll be together just like a song.
Time stands guard like a soldier at the gates of dawn.
And loneliness, like time, just drags on.
Through the day, I'll bundle up
against the cold of a coffee cup.
Through the steam, I'll dream of you
and try to think of better things to do.
Sit and stare, sing and play,
it's all I've ever done anyway,
and I feel like my last days are here when no one's home.
And loneliness, like time, just drags on.
I sit and play in the dark with the curtains drawn,
and loneliness, like time, just drags on.
