lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 Morning paper flies through the air Strikes a chord upon my door But all that lies within its lines Depresses me more and more The letter arrived in the daily mail It says nothing to ease my pain And I stand by the post-box all alone As the clouds open up, and comes the rain I can only see one way out You're blocking all the other exits And pointing me towards an open hole If that's the only way to go It doesn't matter anyway, to me If it's the only way for me to ease my soul The telephone still doesn't ring today An empty sound that echoes through the hall But still I wait, hoping desperately That maybe today, you'll finally call But in my mind's eye, your back moves away from me Your last words floating on the air Stabbing me indiscriminately As if you were still there I can only see one way out You're blocking all the other exits And pointing me towards an open hole If that's the only way to go It doesn't matter anyway, to me If it's the only way for me to ease my soul And the rain keeps pouring down Driving the dust into the ground All the grey has washed away Any hope I might have had today I can only see one way out You're blocking all the other exits And pointing me towards an open hole If that's the only way to go It doesn't matter anyway, to me If it's the only way for me to ease my soul |
