In the light of the night when the city dies
And the urban core begins its meltdown
People in the streets, the lovers and machines
Each one squeaky clean start heading downtown

But I'm waiting here alone, looking out the window
Watching on the phone, waiting for a signal
And I know it won't be long
I can almost feel the wind blow
And the two of us are gone
And both of us are walking in the sand

This city's got me down, the heat is all around
And everywhere I go, somebody shakes me
People on the run under imaginary guns
They're dancing in the streets, but yelling "Take me!"

So I'm waiting here alone, looking out the window
Watching for the phone, waiting for a signal
And I know it won't be long
I can almost feel the wind blow
The two of us are gone
And both of us are walking in the sand

Oh, I'm waiting here alone, looking out the window
I know it won't be long, I can almost feel the wind blow
And I'm looking on the phone, waiting for a signal
And the two of us are gone
And both of us are barefoot in the sand
I'll be walking barefoot in the sand
Yeah, we both are walking barefoot in the sand
