'Til The Band Comes In

Here on the outskirts of life

It's a world with the voice of a caretaker's wife

I'm leaving tomorrow don't let it bring you down

Stick around and around and around and around.

'Til the band comes in

And the clouds begin to open

'Til the band comes in

And we hear them all as one

I'll be back again

If you promise that you'll write me

'Til the band comes rollin' in.

Keep your friends

With their windows so high

Keep your city

With children that shine through it's eye

If you need me to move thru'

You know where I'm found

Still alive with my subhuman sound to the ground.

'Til the band comes in

And the clouds begin to open

'Til the band comes in

And we hear them all as one

I'll be back again

If you promise that you'll write me

'Til the band comes rollin' in.

The times we sat and sang of all the hidden things we knew

Did they ever come up true

Can't remember, can't remember

And it's the time to sing a song

Across the emptiness between us

And remember.
