As I wait for sleep to drag me under
|
In the evening gloom I sit and wonder
|
The words I should have said to you
|
The things I always meant to do
|
The bad dreams that all came true
|
|
Chorus:
|
You woke up my neighbourhood
|
Night after night we would row
|
You woke up my neighbourhood
|
Things are pretty quiet round here now
|
|
When I think of how we were together
|
I know we couldn't be like that for ever
|
Beneath the Seven Sister stars
|
The night we let it go too far
|
I slept out in the car
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I remember skipping on the porch tilll it grew cold
|
I remember feeling like I was eight years old
|
|
Somersaults across the lawn
|
Singing dancing up till dawn
|
Every now and then we'd have a row
|
You woke up my neighbourhood
|
Things are pretty quiet round here now
|
|
Chorus (repeat)
|
