Maybe Sparrow, You Should Wait
If you knew what I know,
oh my darling.
(So many people live in my town)
All night, all I hear, all I hear is your heart--
tenderly, tenderly, please take my breath from me
I can say that I've lived here:
here I am.
When I'm walking under stars I covet all the waiting hours.
(stars can't fight city lights)
Fluorescent lights engage--
chimneys fall and lovers blaze--
Oh light, I thought you were golden.
See, suddenly the madness came.
He led you to this hiding place.
When you tire of all the bright lights,
hear me calling your voice in the night--
(want to get it all behind me)
Lost love, you're the one that lies in my arms.
I have lightning;
You are gone.
Maybe Sparrow, You Should Wait
If you knew what I know,
oh my darling.
(So many people live in my town)
All night, all I hear, all I hear is your heart--
tenderly, tenderly, please take my breath from me
I can say that I've lived here:
here I am.
When I'm walking under stars I covet all the waiting hours.
(stars can't fight city lights)
Fluorescent lights engage--
chimneys fall and lovers blaze--
Oh light, I thought you were golden.
See, suddenly the madness came.
He led you to this hiding place.
When you tire of all the bright lights,
hear me calling your voice in the night--
(want to get it all behind me)
Lost love, you're the one that lies in my arms.
I have lightning;
You are gone.
