Poetri

Long in the evening
The sunrise not far away
Shuffling through CDs
Looking for songs to play

Although we’ve been drinking
There’s no fooling ourselves, we both know
Nothing can happen
That’s something we both can’t afford

Still it’s hard for us to say
Goodnight

Deep conversation
Though not many words we use
There’s so much emotion
So many things we can’t do

As we sit here on the couch
In the quiet of lamplight
Laughing softly
We both know that too much just ain’t right

Still it’s hard for us to say
Goodnight

In your eyes I see that
His absence has tried your heart
And I can’t believe that
I’m playing with fire

As much as I want to
And as much as you want it too
Nothing can happen
If it does then we’ll both be fools

Still it’s hard for us to say
Goodnight

The crickets are fading
Temptation is growing old
Despite what we’re feeling
We’ve both got to honor love

So dream on, little girl
But don’t forget that you’re married
I’m sorry I stayed too long
Don’t get up I can find my way

You can clean up tomorrow
Sweet dreams
Goodnight
