Lyrics
Retape it faster then Wayward and sitting tight I am a rocking chair on the porch outside Yeah, one, two, one, two, ready Wayward and sitting tight I am a rocking chair on the porch outside, I am a... Stone skipping across the night, I am a... Five dollar bill, yeah And it's getting late, I know But you're still undressing and the windows open, and the Crickets humming the night in slow Like the folks never will, ah (Hey) And aw man, the neighbors quiet And the dogs are sleeping for a little while, and the... House is creaking, and the people out with a... Five dollar bill, yeah And I'm down here looking in You're a magic spell at the window pane, you are... Pulling curtains across the day, you are... Tin cans and silk, huh And you know, it's not a lot It's a porch light on in the dark It's an old machine that creaks and sings so well It's boards and rusted wire It's elbow grease and time 'Cause heaven knows that only time will tell So I'm moving in And when the nighttime comes You're a sleepless dreamer You're a quiet song, you are... Gold watch I will never pawn for a... Five dollar bill, yeah Now I'm down here looking up I am a weary soldier with an old tin cup, I am a... Lucky fool with the royal flesh, I am a... Too high to kill, ah And you know, it's not a lot It's a porch light on in the dark It's an old machine that creaks and sings so well It's boards and rusted wire It's elbow grease and time 'Cause heaven knows that only time will tell So I'm moving in And aw man, you're looking down With your toothy smile And your hair undone, you are... The smooth talker of Babylon, you are a... Five dollar bill, yeah So come on, and hang my hat It's a wooden door and a welcome mat, it's a... Dusty floor, and a mangy cat, and... It always will be
