Six O'Clock

There's somethin' special 'bout six o'clock

In the mornin' when it's still too early to knock

And the dusky light shines down on the block

And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock

Six o'clock, six o'clock

A few hours ago she was standin' here

Just watchin' the stars in our eyes

And the lights as up-tights disappeared

And I could feel I could say what I want

That I could nudge her and call her my confidante

And now I'm back alone with just my shadow in front

At six o'clock, six o'clock

I went home and found that tryin' to sleep was a laugh

Just watchin' my eyelids

Knowin' my brain bids the night not to pass

I got up and got scufflin' around

But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town

And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound

At six o'clock, six o'clock

If I go back where we parted

Could I ever feel like that again?

Guess, I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow

But what can I do 'til then?

Guess, I'll go back home and just wait until dawn

Yes, I had to learn goin' back where we were wouldn't help at all

And I wish my head had been workin' right

We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night

And now I'm back alone bein' twisted up tight

Six o'clock, six o'clock

Now, I'm back alone

Yes, now I'm back alone

I'm back alone
