lyrics

Here comes Joe and Rosetta, arm in arm for balance and possibly in love
Seems they somehow fell in together in this tangled world of push and shove
With bruises on her knees and holes in his sleeves they've fought gravity a time or two
And bloodshot eyes match these scarlet skies beneath the shelter of a drunkard moon

Creases and wrinkles in faces reflecting every choice they ever made
Like two weary veterans they stagger down the street all in their own parade
Each had a dream they could not redeem, sweet music that fell out of tune
So now they waltz to the verses of car horns and curses beneath the cover of a drunkard moon


So God bless the souls who count the hours between the dark and the light
When the chill comes around after the sun goes down and there's no home in sight
But Joe he bummed some change and everything will be working out soon
They'll be smiling tonight, drowning in the light, in the light of a drunkard moon

So I sit in my car in the take out lane on a busy avenue
And I pay for my poison while I think of tomorrow as just another day to get through
Back home in my chair I pull out my hair pretending that I am immune
While Rosetta and Joe sift through rays of hope beneath the gaze of a drunkard moon
