Lyrics
Short-Order Sunshine
Verse 1
You want me when you want me
You promise me your heart
But by morning all that's left of you
Is the oil-stain where you parked
I've tried my best to shine
Broke your fevers, fixed your blues
I've warmed you up on the coldest nights
But I've never dawned on you
Chorus
Now your short-order sunshine's
Going down, down, down
By morning I'll be rising in another town
These wheels have hit the highway
Spinning round, round, round
And you can listen for the crack of dawn
But you won't hear a sound
No, you won't, you won?t, you won?t hear a sound
Verse 2
Going back where I belong
Fresh from my Waterloo
And when I get there I'll have my share
Of explaining to do
When I catch up to her
Gonna fall down on my knees
Gonna show her just how much I've changed
Since the day she said to me...
