C’mon lovely won’t you rise from morning cotton to fill your eyes with light and surprise

Midnight came and conversation cleared the way for things I’d felt for years

This was the night I’d lose my pride

I touched your hair; you came at me like a knife

A whistling sound could be heard as you split the night

I couldn’t get to the light…but you didn’t seem to care

C’mon lovely won’t you take that peaceful look I put on your face and bring it to mine (One more time)

I’d never heard my name so clear I thought I’d done something wrong

I feared this was the night I’d lose my pride

I’d hate to lose a friend, but I was out of fight

I couldn’t leave here like I did one thousand times

Before tonight, did you know I cared

I touched your hair; you came at me like a knife

A whistling sound could be heard as you split the night

I couldn’t get to the light…but you didn’t seem to care
