Come over Tonight

The sun left the stage,

And the blue-black horizon

Stole the last of my kind words,

I've nothing to say.

As we walk 'neath the street lamp

That's flickering on

I suggest that we dance

But you just laugh it off,

Summer love once was easy,

But innocence, she's fleeting

And I'm not as young as I once was

And your eyes look as tired as

A midwestern sky after three days of thunderstorms.

But couldn't we try...

My painted words,

Tell me what they're worth

And come over tonight if you want me.

Come over tonight, spend some time.

I won't ask for forever,

How 'bout til the light

Won't you lay with me here for a while

And come over tonight

Recalling the way that a candle between us

Casts shadows that seem to make sense.

And there's music in French

I don't quite understand

As my awkward advances

They made us both laugh.

Now harsh words like trust, desire and love

Are just sand in the ocean for us.

'Cause there's too much at stake

And we couldn't explain

So for now can't we just pretend

That this is enough...

My painted words,

Tell me what they're worth

And come over tonight if you want me.

Come over tonight, spend some time.

I won't ask for forever,

How 'bout til the light

Won't you lay with me here for a while

And come over tonight.

Come over tonight if you want me,

Come over tonight, spend some time.

I won't ask for forever,

Forever's too long.

Won't you lay with me here for a while,

Won't you lay with me here for a while,

Won't you lay with me here for a while,

And come over tonight.
