lyrics

Wait Till May

Bolt the doors and lock the windows
Draw the blinds and curtains too
Where's the baby--is he sleeping in his room
The storm is out there on the loose

The house is crowded with black shadows
They crawl the walls and prowl the floors
I watch the TV set explode a thousand times
While tanks roll through Watertown

But we're all right
We're okay, I tell myself
We'll find a way
The sun will burn away the night
Wait till May with me tonight

Dawn sneaks in when we're not looking
The darkest light I can recall
I step outside and glance around at empty streets
Confetti sticking to my feet

But we're all right
We're okay, I tell myself
We'll find a way
The sun will burn away the night
Wait till May with me tonight

Boylston's sitting still as Pompeii
Dressed in yellow crime-scene tape
My fingers grip my camera like a loaded gun
But too numb to shoot a frame

But we're all right
We're okay, I tell myself
We'll find a way
The sun will burn away the night
Wait till May with me tonight
