I Count The Hours
The ramblings that became this song, the eighth cut on The Year of Longing Dangerously, were penned after a drunken strike-out in a hotel somewhere. Like a banquet server is going to come back to a guest’s room, anyway.
The minutes drag and disappear…
Lover I’m waiting. Why aren’t you here?
The clock ticks out my solitude…
Every second another year.
The bottles line up one by one.
Lover I’m waiting. What have I done?
My heart beats out an hollow sound.
The sound of my dreams come undone.
I count the hours.
I watch the time crawl.
I sit up nights and I drink till sunrise,
Staring at the walls.
You said I’d be a wreck without you,
But I’m going to be just fine.
I’ll keep myself together
As long as I can keep myself in wine.
The night bleeds slowly into dawn.
Lover I’m waiting… Where have you gone?
