Lyrics:

     THE WAY IT ALWAYS STARTS

     It gets so dark before the dawn
     That's when it gets to me
     Before the city symphony of taxi horns

     That's the way it always starts,
     Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart.

     Last night I thought I heard my name
     Well it was too dark to see, but it had to be,
     The voice was just the same

     That's the way it always starts,
     Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart.

     So tell me why should it have to be this way
     Why can't it be all right,
     Why can't I sleep at night?
     Why should it have to be this way?
     Why must there be this price to pay?

     Now all the streets are dark and bare,
     Oh, if you can live in this town,
     And stick around, you can live anywhere

     That's the way it always starts,
     Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart.
