The Waffle House Tango Lyrics - David Wilcox

from Turning Point 

.............................................. 

(Spoken) 

In the deep of the darkest night 

There's a beacon of yellow light 

(singing) 

At the Waffle House 

At the edge of the dark abyss 

The confusion decends like this 

Just deeper and denser 

At the Waffle House 

After the midnight hour 

Scraping the eggs and flour 

From the napkin dispenser 

(Refrain) 

And we who run from our homes 

When the silence of sorrow 

Won't leave us alone 

And we who are out there this late 

Be it heartbreak or highway 

Or some altered state 

When it's time that we slow up 

And wrap both our hands around our cup 

And stay until the feeling goes 

As long as there are broken hearts and dreams 

And all of that highway in between 

The waffle house will never close 

At the Waffle House 

Under the cobalt sky 

The drivers with bloodshot eyes 

At the Waffle House 

If you're facing some bitter truth 

We'll save you a window booth 

And we will be waiting 

When you run from your home 

When the silence of sorrow won't leave you alone 

When you are out there this late 

Be it heart break or highway or some altered state 

When it's time that you slow up 

And wrap both your hands around your cup 

And stay until the feeling goes 

As long at there are broken hearts and dreams 

And all of that highway in between 

The Waffle House will never close
