The waitress is cleaning the bar
it's two in the morning.
She offers some coffee to me,
turns the radio on.
The caster is selling
his voice to the night,
the coffee gets cold in a while.

The old man beside me is gone,
he showed me a blueprint
of a house he would build
with the money he never could save.
His father is buried down by the sea
once he was younger than me.

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the border -
not over the line?

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the limit of time?
I'm sleepless tonight.

Take me away from the gloom,
I'm cold from the inside.
The waitress has turned off the lights,
there's nothing to fear.
She's put on her coat and once in a while
the lines on her face disappear.

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the border -
not over the line?

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the limit of time?

Oceans awake and walls break down
when you are there. Oh.
You take my hand
and you just lead me right out of here. Oh yeah.

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the border -
not over the line?

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the limit of time?

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the border -
not over the line?

Why am I sad today?
Why am I on the way
down to the limit of time?
I'm sleepless tonight.
