Tall Heights – Eastern Standard Time lyrics

[Intro]
Goodbye, goodbye
Eastern standard time
It could be roses in my pocket or be roses on my stone

[Verse 1]
The waves on the shore take all of my being
Gray and habitual, resolved and serene
And I'm at your door half-smiling
All of a man half-waiting for the bell to ring
While all of those waves unwavering, unwavering

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye
Eastern standard time
It could be roses in my pocket or be roses on my stone
Goodbye, goodbye
In this dark, dark hour of night
I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone
I'll be the only one alone

[Verse 2]
It can't be ignored though it can be screened
Oh, singing out these melodies with all I mean
So surround and adore me, arouse and implore me
The waves will roll, the waves will crash
And what left will there be?
Oh, what left will there be?

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye
Eastern standard time
It could be roses in my pocket or be roses on my stone
Goodbye, goodbye
In this dark, dark hour of night
I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone
I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone
I'll be the only one alone, I'll be the only one alone

[Outro]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
The waves on the shore
Take all of my being
Goodbye, goodbye
