Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside   And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive   Well, I heard you let somebody get there fingers into you   It's getting cold in California   I guess I'll be leaving soon      Daylight fading   Come and waste another year   All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear   Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn   When we see the early signs that daylight's fading   We leave just before it's gone      She said "everybody loves you"   she says, "everybody cares"   But all the things I see inside myself,   they vanish in the air   If you tell me that you'll wait for me   I'll say I won't be here   I want to say goodbye to you   Goodbye to all my friends   Goodbye to everyone I know      Daylight fading   Come and waste another year   All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear   Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn   When we see the early signs that daylight's fading   We leave just before it's gone
