Joseph Arthur - Turn You On lyrics

She opens every door Never calls you by your name And when you say it's time to go She looks at you like you're insane But when she hears you play She tries to sing along She gets up and dances on the chair And makes you laugh When she sings You say I don't turn you on Until it's time for me to go She only cries at night When the children are gone She gets up to wipe away her eyes In the blue light of the dawn Laying on your chest She's like a tiny cat Brought up and broken on the street You know she's the only one That even knows where you're at You say I don't turn you on Until it's time for me to go She says crawl over here I got something else to say Pouring whisky in your coffee cup She says I swore you liked it that way She tells you how to stay alive Acting like she's cleaning up your place You could see every single star in the sky Written on the expression of her lonely face You say I don't turn you on Until it's time for me to go You say I don't turn you on Until it's time for me to go
