Tonight

come around and say you love me

hang your heart in lights above me

is that too much to ask for?

When the night descends upon us

take a shower dry your hair by the furnace

I'll watch you from the corner

Telephones and old typewriters

words of love along the wires

Let's make it work tonight

Telegraphs and birds that fly

through air so still you hear me sigh

Let's make it work tonight

Tonight, tonight

Then furious you threw the picture

eye cap in hand an awful mixture

That kind of hard love is the worst

I try to speak but you don't hear me

when you're gone you still feel near me for a while for a little while

I've tried Telephones and old typewriters words of love along the wires

But nothing is working tonight

I've tried telegraphs and birds that fly through air so still you hear me sigh

But nothing is working tonight

Tonight, please let's make it work tonight

Please let's make it work tonight, tonight
