I walked into a room where you were sitting dimly lit
My cigarette’s ablaze the way your stockings never quit
I reached out both my hands and all my ignorance was shown
The last three nights of building up my ego’s all but blown
So I walk along the sand and watch my feet sink in the ground
Cushion all my steps so I don’t interrupt the sound
The night that makes the waves that try to cling a while more
Don’t want to bother Edna as she walks along the shore
Right back where I’m heading’s just the place I need to be
A lighter state of mind where my mistakes are hardly seen
Cause every time I think it, all that glitters now is stone
And our last little moments as I sit here all alone
