Lyrics
Don't Sleep In The Subway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You wander around on your own little cloud
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'Cause to reason is not what you care for
I've heard it all a million times before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
CHORUS:
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
You try to be smart, then you take it to heart
'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
And the problems are so overrated
Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
CHORUS
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin' . . .
