Another night is dying
And the car that drives us home
A seasoned venue for your crying
Another block I'll be alone
I find you beautiful but frightening
I know you little but the best
And your intentions are like lightning
You strike one place and leave the rest
When this game we played so many times
Leaves us lying here for dead
I would wake and curse my blackened sole
For the things I said tonight
I've seen you grow in oh so many ways
But never was there such a tree
That grew so tall with such committment
That grew at all in front of me
You come from meadows black as night
Into my life to light the way
There's no reason for the things you do
There's no excuse for what I say
When the musics shut behind us
There's only solitude ahead
I would stand and fight the very Gods
For the things I said tonight
Never was there such a simple face
That bought such pleasure all around
You bring relief to the most hardened drunk When he looks up from the ground
You come from meadows black as night
Into my life to light the way
And there's no reason for the things you do
And there's no excuse for what I say
When we've turned and said goodbye to all and made our separate ways to bed
I would drink the best man sober
For the things I said tonight
When this game we played so many times
Leaves us lying here for dead
I would wake and curse my blackened soul
For the things I said tonight
For the things I said tonight.
