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
