Midnight Caller

Ambulance cracking the night
 I open up my window
 The city streets solemn in the dark
 And I can hear the sirens
 Somebody met the last big sleep
 Another family tragedy
 A tiny note that no one saw in the paper
 I went up north
 Remember it well
 Could not believe the things they said
 I understood when I got there
 Then it got to me
 I can still see the tracks in the snow
 You're forever attached to this mold
 Nothing much changes under the sun
 Everywhere I can still see your face
 Your name's written all over this place
 Nothing much changes under the sun
 Snow falls hard all over the bay
 I see no trace of summer
 But was it you that night by the pier
 I thought I saw a shadow
 Where have you gone
 Where have you gone now
 To haunt the empty boulevards
 To watch the trains arrive and leave the station
 Cause there were things we all like to say
 We thought there'd be another day
 A twisted fate came in you way and it got you
 There's a place that I know in the east
 that still keeps me from grinding my teeth
 Nothing much changes under the sun
