As the sun goes down<br>
And the buildings cool<br>
As the tide rolls out<br>
And the shadows pool
You can still smell summer<br>
and the times gone dry<br>
I can still see summertime<br>
in your eye
And if you marry when the sun goes down<br>
by the dawn<br>
You might find your lover gone
On the borderline<br>
between the states and the great Northern waste<br>
There's a cataract as big as the nighttime
When the drain of living<br>
pulls you down<br>
Take a barrel and roll<br>
over the misty showers
Raise your hands and give up on everything<br>
Find a place to throw your dreams<br>
Like old dead flowers
What do I do<br>
What do I do without you
The lovers love the mist<br>
Insubstantial as a little kiss<br>
Times like these bring us so very close<br>
to the edge of things
So I'm left behind to watch the day melt away and move on<br>
You could say I'm left alone<br>
You're departure explodes into our hands<br>
like an 8 ball on a losing shot<br>
Rolls to the edge and it's gone
What do I do<br>
What do I do without you<br>
Without you<br>
Without you.

Lyrics

As the sun goes down
And the buildings cool
As the tide rolls out
And the shadows pool

You can still smell summer
and the times gone dry
I can still see summertime
in your eye

And if you marry when the sun goes down
by the dawn
You might find your lover gone

On the borderline
between the states and the great Northern waste
There's a cataract as big as the nighttime

When the drain of living
pulls you down
Take a barrel and roll
over the misty showers

Raise your hands and give up on everything
Find a place to throw your dreams
Like old dead flowers

What do I do
What do I do without you

The lovers love the mist
Insubstantial as a little kiss
Times like these bring us so very close
to the edge of things

So I'm left behind to watch the day melt away and move on
You could say I'm left alone
You're departure explodes into our hands
like an 8 ball on a losing shot
Rolls to the edge and it's gone

What do I do
What do I do without you
Without you
Without you.
