Nine While Nine lyrics

And it's passing strange

And I'm waiting for the train

Caught up on this line again

And it's passing slowly

Killing time

But it's better than living in what will come

And I've still got some of your letters with me

And I Thought sometimes

Or I read too much

And I think you know

Let's drink to the dead lying under the water

And the cost of the blood on the driven snow

And the lipstick on my cigarettes

Frost upon the window pane

Nine while nine and I'm waiting

For the train.....

She said do you remember a time when angels

Do you remember a time when fear

In the days when I was stronger

In the days when you were here

She said when days had no beginning

While days had no end

When shadows grew no longer

I knew no other friend but you

Were wild

You were wild..

Frost upon these cigarettes

Lipstick on the window pane

And I've lost all sense of the world outside

But I can't forget so I call your name

And I'm looking for a life for me

And I'm looking for a life for you

And I'm talking to myself again

And it's so damn cold it's just not true

And I'm walking

Through the rain

Trying to hold on

Waiting for the train

And I'm only looking

For what you want

But it's lonely here

And I think you knew

And I'm...

And I'm waiting

And I wait in vain

Nine while nine and I'm waiting

For the train...(x2)
