Some would let it go to start again   Knowing now how all our best intentions   Never lit the world on fire      And the lights illuminate the exit signs   Over the wings the skies an open endless sea   Crowding up, surrounding me      And all of Detroit waves goodnight   Spread out beneath me now   If I could, if I could change   Believe me I would, I would      When you're warm enough to share your sheets   Cold enough to make it seem   Like I was only there   Long enough to disappear      Well, I'll still say your name to fall asleep   Over and over a cynic saying rosary   A liar living make believe      And all of Detroit waves goodnight   Spread out beneath me now   If I could, if I could change   Believe me I would, yes I would   And Detroit waves      And Detroit waves   Comes around, around, around   Comes around, around, around   Comes around, around, around again      And all of Detroit waves goodnight   Spread out beneath me now   If I could, if I could change   Believe me I would, yes I would   And Detroit waves, Detroit waves
