It's been so many years since

You've pushed our love away

Ran out that old screen door

For the Chesapeake Bay

But now you're coming in the

Basement door wanting to stay

Why don't you stay

 

Open your eyes and you'll see

The rain has gone

Open your eyes or you'll be the only one

You will be the only one

 

It's been fits and starts

and dreams of wintertime

You hitched your ride with

No reason rhythm or rhyme

What makes you happy here

And your pain so sublime

Is it a sign

 

What is left of the city

And who took the poison

Where are the 21 guns

How can you have any fun
