Nine While Nine

When it's passing strange

And I'm waiting for the train

Caught up on this line again

And it's passing slowly

Killing time but it's better

Than living in what will come

And I've still got some

Of your letters with me

And I thought sometimes

Or I read too much and I think you know

Let's drink to the dead lying under the water

And the cost of the blood on the driven snow

And the lipstick on my cigarettes

Frost upon the window pane

Nine while nine

And I'm waiting for the train

She said, "Do you remember a time when angels?

Do you remember a time when fear

In the days when I was stronger

In the days when you were here"

She said, "When days had no beginning

While days had no end when shadows grew no longer

I knew no other friend but you were wild"

You were wild

Frost upon these cigarettes

Lipstick on the window pane

And I've lost all sense of the world outside

But I can't forget so I call your name

And I'm looking for a life for me

And I'm looking for a life for you

And I'm talking to myself again

And it's so damn cold it's just not true

And I'm walking through the rain

Trying to hold on waiting for the train

And I'm only looking for what you want

But it's lonely here and I think you knew

And I'm, and I'm waiting

And I wait in vain

Nine while nine

And I'm waiting for the train

And I'm waiting

And I wait in vain

Nine while nine

And I'm waiting for the train

And I'm waiting

And I wait in vain

Nine while nine

I'm waiting for the train
