[Verse 1]
It's dark and it's a long way down
She said as she lay her head on the pillow
I took one step back and I retired to evening

[Verse 2]
And the movie made me feel as if I wasn't here at all
And I drove home and I wound up all the windows in my car
In the lamplight I breathe
But the dark is falling in the garden over everything

[Chorus 1]
John, I'm waiting for a morning
Filled with sunlight, when we can both drive away
Shake the dust right off my shoes
With younger friends and skies of blue like yesterday

[Chorus 2]
John, I'm waiting for a morning
Filled with sunlight, when we can both drive away
Laughing friends and silent rides
And all the lovers that we lost are found again

[Verse 3]
I've been out walking in the verges and the quiet
Through all the traffic and the movement of the night
And the lamplight froze
Stopping so suddenly, hearing the dim radio
