The waitress is cleaning the car,
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 was buried down by the sea,
Once he was younger than me.
Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
Down to the border
Not over the line
Why am I sad to day
Why am I on the way
Down to the limit of time
I'm sleepless tonight.
Take me away from the gloom
I'm cold from the inside
The waitress has turned off the lights,
There's nothing to fear,
She's put on her coast 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 to day
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 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 to day
Why am I on the way
Down to the limit of time
I'm sleepless tonight.
