At the close of every day theres a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say her one last word
Were all doing time
Somethings closing, havent you heard?The woman that weve tried to stop
Now sits alone just waiting 'til forever
Forever makes me cryAnd I dont know why all you people
Put that into my head
I cant see why this conversation
Is looking kind of deadAt the close of every day theres a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say her one last word
Im often doing time
And I dont know just why you reckonIt would be this day and dont you see that my hearts on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread round me sometimes
All I know is that weve got to aim higher
Babe, I wish that wed go for the great escapeSo you do praise a different light and I am blinded by it
So sorry that I made you cry your faith in me it had to die
I guess that, that its too late the lights are out
The partys over, baby and now I wish Id told youDont you see that my hearts on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread round me sometimes
All I know is that weve got to aim higher
Babe, I wish that wed go for the great escapeDont you see that my hearts on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread round me sometimes
All I know is that weve got to aim higher
Babe, I wish that wed go for the great escape
