Hurried Nights Music and Lyrics Kara Johnstad© The evening started out just fine Italien pasta then some wine And you said,?our friendships sacred, I just don't dare? You see I have a wife and son I love them more then anyone And I said? I know, yet for years it hangs in the air? Refrain Hurried Nights As we finish our meal Hurried Nights Trying to sense what is real Mmmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmm Verse: We try to small talk tongue gets tied We try to switch from heart to mind Yet the pull's too strong it tugs and pulls at the air You tell me things about your day I vaquely listen, watch your ways Then you shift,?Are you through? I just can't stand this chair.? Refrain Hurried Nights As we're pulled through the dark Hurried Nights Chavela Vargas she sparks you And slowly you und my blouse Forgetting to think of your spouse Interlude: Wondering if you'll think of me Wondering if you care Wondering if our friendship Will end up in mid-air Refrain: Hurried nights As you walk out the door Hurried Nights Leaving me on the floor You with your wife in your head I get up slowly for bed Interlude Wondering why you left so soon Wondering if you'll get home Wondering if I'll sleep tonight alone Or if you'll phone Wondering if you'll tell her Wondering what she'll say Wondering why I wish so much That you would have stayed
