You cracked up too soon before the punchline hit home
and at the end of the joke did you notice that no-one was laughing with you.
You were out on your own,
Waving at trains, waving at cars, waving from bars, waving from aeroplanes,
might as well be waving at stars,

You called out her name as the darkness hit home, raised up your Zippo and opened the skies
till the crowd melts away, at the end of the day, you ran out of light,
Praying for rain, praying for signs, praying for time, praying for endless night, might as well be wishing on stars
