|
I got off work just past eleven |
|
Laid one finger to the breeze |
|
You can almost taste the action |
|
On nights like these |
|
Trees were bending in the wind |
|
You were forty miles away |
|
And I was headed in your direction |
|
I've been waiting all day, I've been waiting all day |
|
Moon over west covena was huge and white |
|
And I was like a patient on a table |
|
Headed for the light |
|
Lean toward the center divider |
|
Feel the wind in my hair |
|
Keep a light up in your window |
|
I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right there |
|
With a gleam in my eye |
|
And an almost airtight alibi |
|
Down by the chemistry building |
|
I found a quiet place to park |
|
And I made my way down the street toward your place |
|
Stepping lightly in the dark |
|
Climbed the steps up to your doorway |
|
Like a man prepared to jump underneath a train |
|
It's real warm outside tonight |
|
Maybe tommorow it rains, maybe tommorow it rains |
|
Inside your room we shut the window |
|
And we turned on a fan |
|
And we lay there together in the darkness |
|
I can keep a secret if you can |
|
Finishing one another's sentences |
|
Like a pair of identical twins |
|
Your boyfriend's out of town until tuesday |
|
And nobody saw me come in, nobody saw me come in |
|
With a gleam in my eye |
|
And an almost airtight alibi |
