Sundays, Broken Down

There was a girl
This dancer in a traveling show
You know, she danced from town to town
And while it seems I only know her from a photograph these days
Back when she was dancing, I was the clown
Now there's a bard telling stories by a fireside
While no one else makes a sound
You see the sky's wide open and you're up there like a satellite
Well, baby, come back down, touch the ground
We need you around

Can you find the secrets in the skyline hidden there for you tonight
And in the songs we never sing?
Where I've been waiting for you

Y'know, it seems most days I get so nervous I can't walk outside
I'll try to tell you there's nothing out there I even wanna see
But after all the nights I kept you trembling, couldn't let you go
Well, now there ain't nobody here but me

But I still see your face like passing headlights down a long and lonely road
On broken Sundays, and in my dreams
Where I'll be waiting for you

What can I do? What should I say?
I can't seem to look away until it blinds me
Like I'm staring at the sun
Well, gods know that I can't change
Still, I'm never quite the same from day to day
I don't wanna face my reflection
Don't wanna see what I've become
Tell me, am I still me?
Won't someone please check and see?
Until then, I'll be right here singing with my shadows
And dancing all alone here in the dark

Because now you're gone and it's rained so long
You can't recall the light
But do you still remember me?
I'm waiting for you in this ocean where it's sink or swim
When all you've got left is the fight
Can you tell me you still believe?
Well, I'll be waiting for you
On the streets on Sundays, broken down
Yeah, when all the people stop and stare
But you don't care, you don't care
Baby, I'll wait for you
I'll march along if you beat that drum
We'll just follow as the sunset fades until tomorrow comes
I'll be there waiting for you
Yeah, I'm waiting for you
