Side of the Road
Waking up at 4am
Kind of like a holiday
You feel you should be paid to take
Standing on the side of the road
Holding what a waitress saves
In a bar where the cleavage pays
Holding all the dreams she couldn't leave behind

I saw your face in the crowd last night
You looked like you did on our wedding day
You stood below an exit sign
In the bar the Communist's Daughter

Last night distracted by it all
Up there on the TV screen
Saw a man become a dream
How many roads he had to walk
Half of them were not his own
A relay race for rolling stones
Saw the waitress couldn't wipe the tears from her eyes

I saw your face in the crowd last night
You looked like you did on our wedding day
You stood below an exit sign
Looking like a communist's daughter

Standing on the side of the road
It's been a while since we've been herea
And all the clocks have disappeared
Wondering what is gonna happen next
