Waiting at the Red Rocket

Lyrics transcript

Reviewed lyrics for Waiting at the Red Rocket.

I left the porch light burning

Though the power's been gone for years

Put a chair beside the window

And poured myself a beer

You said you'd meet me someday

When the fighting finally starts

So I keep on watching that old road Though

I know you never got

I'm waiting at the red rocket

Watching shadows cross the road

I'm waiting at the red rocket

Carrying this heavy load

Every night I tell myself Tomorrow you'll come home

I'm waiting at the red rocket

But I'm waiting here alone

Thank

you.

I found your old leather jacket

Hanging where you left it last

Still smells a little like you

And a whole lot like the past

The world went up in fire Then it buried

all the stars

Now I'll watch the commonwealth♪

From this broken down old yard♪♪

I'm waiting at the Red Rocket♪♪

Watching shadows cross the road♪♪

I'm waiting at the Red Rocket♪♪

Carrying this heavy load♪♪

Every night I tell myself♪♪ Tomorrow you'll come home♪♪

I'm waiting at the Red Rocket♪

but I'm waiting here alone.

Maybe somebody saw you,

maybe somebody knows.

Maybe you're walking somewhere

down some long-forgotten

Or maybe I've been waiting

for something

I already know

Maybe I ain't waiting for you

Maybe I just can't let go

I'm waiting up the lead rocket

Watching shadows cross the road

I'm waiting at the red rocket Carrying this heavy

load

Maybe you ain't coming home♪

Maybe I

already know♪♪

I'm waiting at the Red Rocket♪♪

And I guess it's time to go♪

I left the porch light burning

just in case.
