Steam on the Fence (versione 2)

Verse

Gutters empty where the storm went through

Steam rising off the fence line or two

Porch light's still on but nobody's home

Just the hum of something left to roam

I lean against a post in socks and a T-shirt wet

Watchin' how the mist curls slow across the street

Every window's dark except for one upstairs

Pre-Chorus

Something in my chest is letting go

Like water off this porch, like rain let loose down low

Maybe I've been waiting for something to break through

And now it finally has, just me and you

Chorus

Steam on the fence where our shadows blend

Watchin' how this night's slow gentle end

Hold your breath, hold still, watch how it drifts away

We're not leaving here till the dawn's made its gray

Steam on the fence where our shadows bend

Every storm needs a place to begin again

Nothing left to say except 'hold me' and 'wait
