Main Street

Main Street - Late Night Alumni

Self-assured with a cold heart

I was sure the words had failed us

So roundabout I take the curtains down

Sweep beneath chairs

The unanswered prayers

Now I'm haunted by a longing so early in the morning

It greets me without warning

Coincidence I see you today

We small talk but time gets in the way

So I clip the clock's wings

We talk about smart things

Find myself smiling for the first time in days

Now I'm haunted by a longing

This afternoon on Main Street

You're smiling and oh

How apropos

I once had an ending but now I have the go

I laugh when you say Flowers say what they mean

'Cause roundabout you say the funniest things

Now I'm haunted by a longing so late in the evening

It greets me with a warning
