Lovin' Spoonful Six O'clock
(John Sebastian) There's something special 'bout six o'clock In the morning when it's still too early to knock And the dusky light shines down on the block And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock Six o'clock, six o'clock Verse 1: A few hours ago she was standing here Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights disappeared And I could feel I could say what I want That I could nudge her and call her my confidante But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front At six o'clock, six o'clock Verse 2: I went home and found that time to sleep was rare Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care I got up and got scufflin' around But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound At six o'clock, six o'clock Bridge: If I go back where we parted Could I ever feel like that again Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow But what can I do 'til then Verse 3: Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all And I wish my head had been working right We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight Six o'clock, six o'clock Coda: Now I'm back alone Yes, now I'm back alone I'm back alone
