about

Big band jazz torch number

lyrics

See how the ink
Bleeds on the page
Reading the notes
I always save
My trembling hands
Just won't behave

Waiting at home
Hoping you'll phone
Stood on my own
Hanging my tears out to dry

See how the dust
Hangs in the air
My mood will turn
From joy to despair
Passing the hours
I have to spend

Waiting at home
Hoping you'll phone
Stood on my own
Hanging my tears out to dry

These perpetual chores
That you seem to cause
Has me pacing the floors
Hanging my tears out to dry

See my heavy heart
Filled full of rocks
Always one eye
Trained on that clock
An ear for the key
That opens that lock

Waiting at home
Hoping you'll phone
Stood on my own
Hanging my tears out to dry

This unending degree of
Uncertainty
Has me down on my knees
Hanging my tears out to dry

See how despair
Grips at my throat
Feeling so sick
Rocking the boat
I'm doing my best
To stay afloat

Waiting at home
Hoping you'll phone
Stood on my own
Hanging my tears out to dry

See how the day
Turns into night
Holding them back
Try as I might
Winning the war
But losing the fight

Waiting at home
Hoping you'll phone
Stood on my own
Hanging my tears out to dry

Dry
