At The Close Of Everyday

At the close of every day

there's a woman passing.

Lover did you hear her say

her one last word?

"We're all doing time"

Something's closing

Haven't you heard?

The woman that we've tried to stop

now sits alone just waiting till forever,

forever makes me cry and I don't know

why all you people, put that into my head

I can't see why this conversation

is looking kind of dead.

At the close of every day

There's a woman passing.

Lover, did you hear her say

her one last word?

I'm often doing time

and I don't know just

why you reckon it would be

this day and

Don't you see

that my heart's on fire?

your wicked wings that you

spread around me sometimes.

All I know is we've got to aim higher

Babe, I wish that we'd go

for the great escape.

So you do praise a different light

and I am blinded by it, so sorry

that I made you cry

your faith in me it had to die

I guess that, that it's too late,

the lights are out,

the party's over, baby

and now I wish I'd told you

Don't you see

that my heart's on fire?

Your wicked wings that you

spread around me sometimes

All I know is we've got to aim higher

Babe, I wish that we'd go

for the great escape.

Don't you see

that my heart's on fire?

Your wicked wings that you

spread around me sometimes.

All I know is we've got to aim higher

Babe, I wish that we'd go

for the great escape.

In your shade I'll shape my life

Then I know it's alright

And I'll take one last look at you

Then I know it's alright.
