Wake Up Alone

The year is growing old under a cloudy sky
 Like pouring new wine into an old glass
 We'll drink the bottle dry
 Just walk with me to the end of the night
 Haloed streetlights shine down
 On an empty street
 Miles and miles of nothing at all
 Fall asleep to the sound
 Of the ringing in my ears
 Lay my tired head on what could have been
 And wake up alone again
 Reel in another week, order another round
 Tonight we run from last call to last chance
 The barroom clock runs down
 Haloed streetlights shine down on your twisted sheets
 Empty bottles all over the floor
 Fall asleep to the sound
 Of your breathing in my ear
 Sleep the dark dreamless sleep of the dead
 For this once we'll have company when we wake up alone again
