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.
