Colin Hay - Baby Can I See You Tonight lyrics

I'm walking over yellow lawn The day, it is still sleeping Yellow sun brings the dawn Mother earth is weeping I kick off my sensible shoes I clear away the table I switch on the morning news Economy's unstable But it's all gonna be all right Last time you said you might Baby, can I see you tonight? I look up in the cloudless sky We're hardly even moving This day's just creeping by And it's not of my choosing I wish I had a, a time machine To move a little faster I'd cut to the crucial scene Between before and after Everythin' gonna be all right Last time you said you might Baby, can I see you tonight? Took a walk down by the wall Down by the harbor There's no wind blowing in my sail Makes it even harder You whispered, "Can I take it slow?" I will if I am able I can feel it head to toe There's no name or label And everythin' gonna be all right Last time you said you might Baby, can I see you tonight? I don't know just where you are But I can use my imagination It's hard to say how deep I fell It's more than fascination I gave up on across and down I lost my concentration I feel like a, a fallen king Before my abdication But everythin' gonna be all right Last time you said you might Baby, can I see you tonight? Can I see you tonight? Can I see you tonight or before? I got a pretty clear day
