Outside your window it waited for you
You didn't come
You never do
In the city in the wintertime
The snow and the rime
Cover the isolation
Yesterday, baby, they told you the news
They meant you no harm
They never do
You can take it any way you want
It comes and it goes
Rising in broken waves and dreams
Heavy hours passing by the way
Devil knows how I'm trying, babe
I hear you breathing so steady and true
The whole night long
The whole night through
Your lungs soft heaving in slow drunken time
Falling with mine forever here
Heavy hours dragging by the way
Devil knows how I'm trying, baby
Heavy hours passing by the way
Devil knows how hard I'm trying, babe
