(never released by Steve - recorded by Charlie Sexton)
Girl there's no moon out tonight
Just your window light
The night hides nothing you should fear
'Cause I stand guard out there
Every day I look away when we meet
Every night I'm walking up and down your street
I'm standin' here outside your window
It's drivin' me mad, I can't let go
You'll never even see
This lonely watch I keep
While you sleep
Girl, don't ever think your dreams
Are private as they seem
'Cause I know every move you made
From midnight 'till you wake
While you sleep
Every day I look away when we meet
Every night I'm walking up and down your street
I'm standin' here outside your window
It's drivin' me mad, I can't let go
