You say she’s been fun while she’s singing her song.
You don’t know the words but you still go along.
Well mister I wish that you’d just set her free.
She’s one chunk of coal that’s a diamond to me.
Her tears aren’t for you so don’t let your heart bleed
I’ve wiped them away now I’m all that she needs.
I’ve watched as her cotton dress swayed in the moon.
I’ve watched while she cried when you left her too soon.
CHORUS ✤
Turn me on one by one
We’ll turn off the lights when our supper is done
Rest for a while with your head in my arms
Let me unwind with your womanly charms
I hear the whisper of shoes on the leaves
I walk through the oaks where she’s waiting for me.
The patio light will burn while we’re gone
But the hunger for love is what leads our way home.
CHORUS ✤
Barefoot on the floor I hold you to me
One dance till the dawn comes to set the night free
And we find in the silence no need for regret
And we find when the sun breaks no need to forget.
CHORUS ✤
