Arid At The Close Of Every Day
At the close of every day
There’s a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
We’re all doing time
Something’s closing
Haven’t you heard?
The woman that we’ve tried to stop
Now sits alone just waiting 'til forever
Forever makes me cry
And I don’t know why all you people
Put that into my head
I can’t see why this conversation
Is looking kind of dead
At the close of every day
There’s a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
I’m often doing time
And I don’t know just why you reckon
It would be this day and
Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape
So 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 it’s too late
The lights are out
The party’s over baby
And now
I wish I’d told you
Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape
Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape
