Another night gone by
My lashes count the time
a flutter from my lids
to break the weeping
distance
and see if you're still alive
only still you lay by my side
I think I'd like to be kissed
by you
Unmoving right, so near
A hush here,
a zzz there
Your lips agape
asleep I fear
I feel it in my throat
a child's cry
for another nights gone by
I've been painted blue
my thoughts ajar, quite through
from ol'-lonesomes-bite
Physically you're near
as my eyes devour light
A bright firefly
is sad
without a summer night
As I am thoroughly too
I think I'd like to be kissed
by you
To bed again, clothes off I knew
You fall giving a sleepy sigh
You travel away, but in the same
Room
alone and bare am I
I think I'd like to be kissed by you
but gone is the bright firefly
And then I'm painted blue
For another nights gone by

Another night gone by
My lashes count the time
a flutter from my lids
to break the weeping
distance
and see if you're still alive
only still you lay by my side
I think I'd like to be kissed
by you
Unmoving right, so near
A hush here,
a zzz there
Your lips agape
asleep I fear
I feel it in my throat
a child's cry
for another nights gone by
I've been painted blue
my thoughts ajar, quite through
from ol'-lonesomes-bite
Physically you're near
as my eyes devour light
A bright firefly
is sad
without a summer night
As I am thoroughly too
I think I'd like to be kissed
by you
To bed again, clothes off I knew
You fall giving a sleepy sigh
You travel away, but in the same
Room
alone and bare am I
I think I'd like to be kissed by you
but gone is the bright firefly
And then I'm painted blue
For another nights gone by
