Lyrics for Steadier Footing

It's gotten late And now I want to be alone All of our friends were here They all have gone home And here I sit on the front porch Watching the drunks Stumble forth Into the night You gave me a heart attack I did not see you there I thought you had disappeared So early Away from here And this is the chance I never got To make a move But we just talk about The people we've met in the last five years And will we remember them in ten more I let you bum a smoke You quit this winter past I've tried twice before, but like this It just will not last
