|
Let me take you to the waterfront |
|
The mist will wash away those tears |
|
And if you say it's OK, I'll hold your hand 'til this clears |
|
Do I take it she's hurt you again |
|
This time more painful than before? |
|
I wish I had the nerve to tell her |
|
You don't want no more |
|
CHORUS |
|
'Cause, boy, I love you |
|
More than you'll ever know if the truth be said |
|
These feelings that I'm holding back |
|
Make me more than just a friend |
|
But I can never tell the truth |
|
'Cause I don't want to lose your trust |
|
I know that if you went away |
|
My heart would turn to dust |
|
The walls between us were not made to keep |
|
The sound of crying to themselves |
|
And it's another night of wasted dreams you'll defend |
|
I came so close to telling you today |
|
Boy, you just take those dreams and run |
|
But my selfish heart couldn't say those words |
|
Was that so wrong? |
|
CHORUS |
|
Your kitchen light shines onto my back yard |
|
Your shadow paces back and forth |
|
I sit here in the darkness with my |
|
Strange collection of thoughts |
|
But wait a moment, am I in a dream? |
|
Is that the sound of your back door? |
|
And with a flickering shadow of conscience our eyes hold |
|
CHORUS |
|
Yes, tonight, maybe I'll tell the truth |
|
Please, don't let me lose your trust |
|
Tonight, I'll not send you away |
|
Tonight is just for us |
