lyrics

When the prison bell
Is ringin out the yard
I just can’t tell
It all comes on so hard
With your drunken feet
Tryin to find the door
Now I just can’t keep
I just can’t keep this secret anymore

In them quiet streets
You’re really never sure
What’s good to keep
And what’s worth waitin for
I’d like to be
The shadow on your wall
I’d like to be
Busy makin music and moonlight by the door

Waitin by
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door

Until that prison keep
Dozes off and starts to snore
And them stone white sheets
They keep feelin tired and worn
Don’t ya speak
And don’t ya wait one moment more
Don’t ya weep
Cause I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door

Waitin by
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door

Don’t ya weep
And don’t ya wait one moment more
Don’t ya speak
Cause I’m waitin by the door
Until that prison bell
Rings out loud and long
I still can’t tell
Cause I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door

I’m waitin by
Waitin by the door
I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door
I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door
Waitin by
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door
