Look for a sign in the window
An ad in the paper, a job waiting tables
Tie on an apron for change in my pocket
To spend at the shops and study the docket
I can be honest, I can respond
Hold my own and take on what comes
Save it for later, be restrained
Make up my mind, then want to change it
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
Like a storm, when nothing's in order
And these little thoughts, they buzz like a train
Find my page and turn them again and again
2nd Verse
Oh, I guess I got lost
I must have forgotten, it's just been so hot
I make all my choices on coins I can toss
Coins for the washing, to slide in the slots
And I can be honest, I can be strong
Wait for all those letters to come
Peel off the labels, check the dates
Order my days and then re-arrange them
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
Like a storm, when nothing's in order
And these little thoughts they buzz like a train
Lock the doors and wait for the sun to come up again...
