White Curtains Lyrics

Alone in my room

With the lights turned down low

Watch a mosquito eater feed

As you walk through the door

My tongue it was twisted

And I rolled on my back

Caught in a living dream

A midnight attack

It's not the same city

That you left

And your old dog still waits for you on the step

Just imaginary friends

One that I can't forget

Light through white curtains

And soft through the day

Though my vision blurs

One thing's for sure

You've been on your way

This old house just listens

And the bowl's long been dry

I'm making my coffin down

Way deep in your eyes

Life goes by before you blink

Starin' too close you'll go blind

And you won't last too long without any sleep

Take it from me: I've tried

It's not the same city

That you left

And your old dog still waits for you on the step

Just imaginary friends

One that I can't forget

I don't want to live

In a world without you

Cus this city's stained with memories

That took years to accrue

Guess we'll both go on drifting

Down two separate streams

Maybe the river will wind you

Someday back to me

Alone in my room

With the lights turned down low

How happy life would be

If you walked through the door
