[Verse 1] Basket by the sink One more shirt to hang Blue jeans heavy from the wash Drip-drip on the tiles again I shake them out Give the sleeves a spin The window's open just a crack Still the air won't let them in [Pre-Chorus] I wait and I wait By the folding chair Your sweater takes its sweet time Dangling in the air [Chorus] Come on, dry now Dry now, dry now I need you ready by sundown Come on, dry now Dry now, dry now I’m pacing circles around the house [Verse 2] Tea towel on the line Pillowcase in the sun Little white socks in a row Looking like they want to run I pin the cuffs up high Clip the collar tight But every time I check them out They still feel cold and slight [Pre-Chorus] I wait and I wait By the folding chair Your sweater takes its sweet time Dangling in the air [Chorus] Come on, dry now Dry now, dry now I need you ready by sundown Come on, dry now Dry now, dry now I’m pacing circles around the house [Bridge] Maybe it’s the rain Maybe it’s the day Maybe everything I own Needs a little more space So I fan the shirts And I open wide the door Even slow things find their way To something better than before [Chorus] Come on, dry now Dry now, dry now I need you ready by sundown Come on, dry now Dry now, dry now I’m pacing circles around the house
