Backwards Waterfalls

from Afternoon by Tom Woodward

/

lyrics

He runs into work puts his feet up on the desk
And he runs all the way back home
He buys a little something then he saves up all the rest
After paying off an old bank-loan
At least he's not in poverty no more
That wolf no longer howls outside the door
At least he's not in poverty no more
That wolf no longer howls outside the door

He writes boring songs they're so boring you could die
If you listen to them on you're own
He sings them in a cage that they built beneath the stage
At the local open microphone
At least he's not in poverty no more
That wolf no longer howls outside the door

When day breaks dreams quake back to dust
Stops and starts hopeful hearts boom and bust
Break right over walls
These backward waterfalls

He sits on the couch with his life in his mouth
On a disconnected telephone
Wisps of conversation drifting through off-dial stations
On a nonexistent radio

At least he's not in poverty
That wolf no longer howls outside the door...
