Some would let it go to start again
Knowing now how all our best intentions
Never lit the world on fireAnd the lights illuminate the exit signs
Over the wings the skies an open endless sea
Crowding up, surrounding meAnd all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, I wouldWhen you're warm enough to share your sheets
Cold enough to make it seem
Like I was only there
Long enough to disappearWell, I'll still say your name to fall asleep
Over and over a cynic saying rosary
A liar living make believeAnd all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, yes I would
And Detroit wavesAnd Detroit waves
Comes around, around, around
Comes around, around, around
Comes around, around, around againAnd all of Detroit waves goodnight
Spread out beneath me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me I would, yes I would
And Detroit waves, Detroit waves
