Print Version

She dreams china white behind her eyes of china blue
Her future wrapped in velvet and her memories wrapped in warm cotton wool

And the coffee grounds
are burying the hours that she killed
in another murder of a day

Her patience starts to crumble
like a rock that turns to sand
and time breaks down to seconds
when you're waiting on a man

She's checking out the doorway while she's checking out the guy
Whose drunk imagination is climbing up the ladder of her silk clad thigh

And the cigarettes
are burning up the hours that she killed
in another murder of a day

Her patience starts to crumble
like a rock that turns to sand
and time breaks down to seconds
when you're waiting on a man

It seems so long since yesterday
The time goes by so slow
When you're waiting on a man, waiting on a man to show

She shivers in a cold sweat that she's trying to ignore,
As she wraps her shaking fingers round the loose change by the phone,
She needs him more than she'll admit and more than others need to know,
She hopes the knots that tie her stomach are only butterflies,
The time goes by so slow
When you're waiting on a man, waiting on a man to show

She prays that no one pays attention
As she punches out the call,
As she fumbles with the number
That the panic still doesn't show,
She prays the lights stay green all night
and that the traffic doesn't slow,
And that the knots that tie her stomach are only butterflies,

Only butterflies, fly by every day
When you're waiting on a man, waiting on a man to show

There he stands behind the door,
She reaches for her coat to go,
And she wanders away in a dream
She wanders away in a dream

As she threads her way home through the neon washed alleyways
She flirts with the shadows and skirts round the victims
Of a night that'll sleep through the day
that cast out its refugees and throws out its debris,

She turns the key in a lock to a fairytale world
that she guards with her ghosts and her faithful familiars
who attend to her shrine in the patchwork cathedral
observing the ritual with silent compassion and prayers

On the candlelit edges of a tightening circle
She arranges the photographs faded and yellowing
Memories left of her friends and her family
Respectfully turned to the wall

She turns up the sound on a second hand radio
and drowns out the noise of the world that she lives in
Her conscience her witness her life is her courtroom
And the man she left waiting is waiting to murder a day

Other Banks Tony song Lyrics
This Is Love "Here am I, lost in a world behind me, All alone, just like before you found me. Now I stare out on the traffic in the city, Even in the dark,..."	Man Of Spells "In shadowy holes, the light disappears, Evening is with us now, And all around begins the movement, The many creatures of the night prepare...."
And The Wheels Keep Turning "And the wheels keep turning, all the time, But there's no pounding or purring, not a sound, Just a feeling of stirring, hold them down, hold them down, hold them down...."	Say Youll Never Leave Me "On a cold clear night in November, All the people have gone to bed. We found ourselves upon a cliff edge, Looking out to sea...."
By You "As I step inside the street sound, A growl of thunder turns my head round, I see one face in the crowd; Like a beacon in the rain..."	At The Edge Of Night "In fading starlight, creeping gloom, At the edge of night, I dream inside this half-lit room. It's gonna be alright...."
Moving Under "Into the night, but out of the dark, To be cornered and yet to survive. The jester performed, with his body he scorned, With his voice he amused, and a little confused..."	K2 "You and me, we got to go somewhere, Somewhere where there's air to breathe, Even though we can't see daylight, Somehow we can feel the breeze, oh no,..."
