See me walking through a long grey night
Glitter in the smoke, not a soul aside
Carrying the things I should have left behind long ago
Choose it from my trolley, the wagon of gold,
The pictures, the carpets – there’s a price for my load
Watch just as long as you wish – I got nowhere to go
Chorus:
Oh, them street lights blurring so blue, so blue
The only thing I left behind was you
Step right up, man, don’t you fret
You can buy this coffee maker for a cigarette
Who’s the lady on the picture? Boy she could sing
Check out this piano, made before the war
You won’t buy it now, they don’t make them no more
It used to cost a few hundred grand, it belonged to her
Chorus
Bridge:
I still can’t remember whether it was you or me
Who took apart the love we’ve saved inside
This emptiness keeps burning
It whispers to me
In my dreams I see the day I robbed you blind
You have to believe, I wasn’t always like that
I used to walk in the shadows and sneak like a cat
The shadow that fed me for years is pulling down on me
Chorus
