What did the storm wash away
Are you bailing out, out of the plans we've already made
It won't bother me now, and you know I'll be okay
You gotta lead your life, but you're not sure you know the way
Well you want to walk in white, you wanna sin but you're too shy
So the candle just keeps burning down on you

My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight
And I don't need anything from you
Down on the bowery, the changing lights
And I'll still be waiting here for you

I saw that look on your face
You don't need me now, and sometimes you wonder if it's off
Just another mistake, and why can't you just walk away
You gotta measure the cost, what do you gain, what have you lost
Lay off and wonder why, you wanna win but you won't fight
So the candle just keeps burning down on you

My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight
But I don't need anything from you
Down on the bowery, the changing lights
And I'll still be waiting here for you

My cards are on the table, I'm here tonight
But I don't need anything from you
Down on the bowery, the changing lights
And I'll still be waiting here for you
