Open Ground Songtext

von Neal Casal

To work like the devil for your pay
Was the old song that he used to sing
Before the waking hours rolled out across the open ground
Now, I see him through the window at a table
Drinking his coffee and talking about the days
Before the time that we knew would not return to this old town
He's waiting for somebody else to save his day
Or at least to see some light before it fades away

To choose no companion fell right in line
With all the others she had known had laid by his side
Before the sleepless morning showed its face without a sound
Without a sound

Where did the time go all these years
After the pictures have been burned
And the names have all been cleared
From all that she remembers it adds up in time to not a thing
No, not a thing

She's waiting for somebody else to save her day
Or at least to see his face before he goes away
Before he goes away (*3)
She just wants to see his face
Before he goes away (*5)
Goes away
