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.
