Well, I've sung out one more evening
Yes I'm wrung out, feeling beat
And I walk on out the door once more
To an empty city streetA good guitar will serve you well
When you're living in the lights
But it's never going to warm you
In the middle of the nightAnd so I come and go with her in whispers
Each and every time she says she dies
When she is reborn again, I kiss her
And the baby never criesShe works in the daytime
She leaves her baby with a friend
And I sing every evening
I only see her now and thenI come to her at midnight
When 'bout half the world's asleep
And she puts me back together
In the hours before I leaveSo I come and go with her in whispers
Each and every time she says she dies
When she is reborn again, I kiss her
And the baby never criesHer apartment's down on Perry Street
And there's a tree in her backyard
And it rubs the bedroom window
When the wind is blowing hardHer old man had left her
He just took off for the coast
And I caught her on the rebound
When I needed her the mostSo I come and go with her in whispers
And each and every time she says she dies
When she is reborn again, I kiss her
And the baby never cries
