Baby Can I See You Tonight?

I'm walkin' over yellow lawn

The day it is still sleeping

Yellow sun brings the dawn

Mother earth is weeping

I kick off my sensible shoes

I clear away the table

I switch on the morning news

Economy's unstable

But it's all goin' to be all right

Last time you said you might

Baby can I see you tonight?

I look up in the cloudless sky

We're hardly even moving

This day's just creeping by and it's

Not of my choosing

I wish I had a time machine

To move a little faster

Cut to the crucial scene between

Before and after

Everything goin' to be all right

Last time you said you might

Baby can I see you tonight?

Took a walk down by the wall

Down by the harbour

There's no wind blowin' in my sail

Makes it even harder

You whispered can I take it slow?

I will if I am able

I can feel it head to toe

There's no name or label

And everything goin' to be all right

Last time you said you might

Baby can I see you tonight?

I don't know just where you are

But I can use my imagination

It's hard to say how deep I fell

It's more than fascination

I give up on across and down

I lost my concentration

I feel like a fallen king

Before my abdication

But everything goin' to be all right

Last time you said you might

Baby can I see you tonight?
