I walked into a room where you were sitting dimly lit

My cigarette’s ablaze the way your stockings never quit

I reached out both my hands and all my ignorance was shown

The last three nights of building up my ego’s all but blown

So I walk along the sand and watch my feet sink in the ground

Cushion all my steps so I don’t interrupt the sound

The night that makes the waves that try to cling a while more

Don’t want to bother Edna as she walks along the shore

Right back where I’m heading’s just the place I need to be

A lighter state of mind where my mistakes are hardly seen

Cause every time I think it, all that glitters now is stone

And our last little moments as I sit here all alone
