The Other Shoe

still flat water on the bay
big fat moon dressed in white
I’m waiting for your call
waiting for the other shoe to fall
dark comes down about 5
red light all in a line
I’m waiting for this song to end
it must’ve played a dozen times
it’s another tale from another town
droopy eyes begin to close
you have had enough
I haven’t had enough
I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall
door wide open
the sun goes down
I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall
one bare foot already out the door
I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall
a fire in the fireplace
a mouse runs across the floor
I’m still waiting for your call
waiting for the other shoe to fall
