lyrics

As I dial in the station,
The neighbors chihuahua barks some more,
See the mosquitos on the LA River
my head is still pounding sore,

Eyes are bleary red,
And the coffee coats my throat,
It could be Monday or Tuesday,
Or Christmas Day for all I know,

A quick stop off for a week,
Still lingers 3 years on,
Maybe the climate suited my needs,
Or it’s just where things fell apart,

And I know,
No sorrow,
can survive,
The smothering of time
But I’m still waiting,

As my blinker syncs to the radio,
My face ages in the rear view mirror,
And My knee hasn’t worked right,
Ever since that skuffle late last year,

Couldn’t dream of where else to be,
Anywhere but here is fantasy,
Thunder only happens when it rainin,
And Players only love you when they’re playin,

I always thought you’d find me,
Always thought you cared,
Thought you’d at least reach out,
Try and see how I fared,

Still I know,
No sorrow,
can survive,
The smothering of time
And I’m still waiting,
