The sun left the stage And the blue-black horizon Stole the last of my kind words I've nothing to say As we walk 'neath the street lamp That's flickering on I suggest that we dance But you just laugh it off Summer love once was easy But innocence, she's fleeting And I'm not as young as I once was And your eyes look as tired as A midwestern sky after Three days of thunderstorms But couldn't we try... My painted words Tell me what they're worth And come over tonight If you want me Come over tonight Spend some time I won't ask for forever How 'bout til the light? Won't you lay with me here for a while And come over tonight Recalling the way That a candle between us Casts shadows that seem to make sense And there's music in French I don't quite understand As my awkward advances, they Made us both laugh Now harsh words like trust, desire and love Are just sand in the ocean for us Cause there's too much at stake And we couldn't explain So for now, can't we just pretend That this is enough? My painted words Tell me what they're worth And come over tonight If you want me Come over tonight Spend some time I won't ask for forever How 'bout til the light? Won't you lay with me here for a while And come over tonight Come over tonight If you want me Come over tonight Spend some time I won't ask for forever Forever's too long Won't you lay with me here for a while Won't you lay with me here for a while Won't you lay with me here for a while And come over tonight
