Dim Light Coming Down

[Verse 1]
You were waiting on the corner
For a bus that never showed
You saw the likeness of your father
Floating high above the road

But you'd been drinking when you saw him
And your mind was moving slow
Like your ears were full of cotton
So what he said you'll never know

[Verse 2]
Later on out on the water
You felt a presence in your boat
Hit the lights and killed the motor
Only to find yourself alone

So you fumbled through your pockets
Hoping you could find a smoke
Wondered how you're still hungover
From what you drank three nights ago

[Chorus 1]
Coming down
There's a dim light
A narrow sound
Opening wide
Getting loud
Getting real quiet
Slipping out
Slipping in like
A tongue

[Verse 3]
I went walking in my dress shoes
I left my wallet and my phone
But I lost track of my direction
Caught in the rain on my way home

I'm not sure what I was expecting
I guess I really should have known
I'd find you right there where I left you
That I could never be alone

[Chorus 2]
Coming down
There's a bright light
A gentle sound
Opening wide
Getting loud
Or staying real quiet
Slipping out
Slipping in like
You've done

Coming down
Coming down
