SUNNY AFTERNOON

Needless to say, it’s past midnight.
Was it something I said?
Something I didn’t say?
Or was I misled,
To think that you might call,
To think that you just might want to
Spend some time with me a while?
Sometimes I make excuses just to see you,
Just to see you smile.
But now I lie awake and I’m all alone.
Lady look up my number and phone!

And what would I do,
I’d take you to a matinee on a sunny afternoon.
And what could we do,
Later lie on a riverbank just me and you.
But what would I do, if you said yes,
I’d break down and say that I love you.

Forgive me if I sound a little wired.
This time of night I’m a soul on fire.
Let me sing about my love.
Let me sing past your doorway.
You know, I’ll sing for my supper
Just don’t turn me away.
I’m so tired.I’m so tired.
Doesn’t somebody feel like I do?
Like a hollow drum with the rain pouring down,
Echoing, echoing the same old song!
