Miles Davis & The Cool

Like Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool

There's just something 'bout the summertime, there's just something 'bout the moon

So I laid a kiss on a stone, tossed it upside your window by the roof

Before you change your mind, Miles, bring in the coolHoney, put on your red dress and your diamond-soled shoes

Climb on out from that window, climb on out of your room

'Cause I never had a good thing and I always had the blues

But I heard that you always kinda wondered, Miles, strike up the coolDon't wait too long to come home

My, how the years and our youth passed on

Don't wait too long to come home

I will leave the front light on

And the night is our own

Don't wait too longLike poor Mr. Pitiful, I can't turn you loose

You move like a dream I had, I woke up sweating in my room

But your mama's got plans and your daddy's aim is true

She never understood that it ain't no good, papa never heard the coolSo now I've got up my nerve and found me a stone

With a flick of the wrist and a turn of the key, you'll just fall in my armsAnd don't wait too long to come home

My, how the years and our youth passed on

Don't wait too long to come home

I will leave the front light on

And the night is our own

Don't wait too longSo why don't you sing to me on this long drive home

And let the sound of your voice sway sweet and slow

As we go down, down, down from our youth to the ground

Down, down, down from our youth to the groundWe might always be blue

JacksonDon't wait too long to come home

My, how the years and our youth passed on

Don't wait too long to come home

I will leave the front light onNo, don't wait too long to come home

My, how the years and our youth passed on

Don't wait too long to come home

I will leave the front light onAs we go down, down, down from our youth to the ground

Down, down, down from our youth to the ground

Down, down, down from our youth to the ground

Down, down, down, down, down
