One More Night |
He came into the world with his eyes wide open |
Knew what it was all about |
He grew into a man that the sun just followed |
Knew himself inside out |
We’d watch him go to work each day |
Come back underneath the moonlit night |
We’d hear them laughing talking always |
Safe behind the walls |
Nobody knew too much about them |
They never even answered calls |
Well his wife was small and pretty |
Like a shell illuminated by the light |
Well I know there is a plan |
But at least from where I stand |
I would love to take the place of that man |
For just one night |
Sometimes situations seem |
Too perfect to be true |
People talk and shake their heads |
The way that people do |
You know that small towns show no mercy |
And they see their envy in a different light |
I woke up late to a big commotion |
Wondering what it all was for |
Voices screaming in the darkness |
Fire and smoke next door |
There was someone lying on the lawn and |
Someone trapped behind the firelight |
What could we say |
As we watched life slip away |
There was nothing we could do to make it right |
Not on that night |
Ah leave me here he said |
Stretched out on the lawn |
I don’t think anybody’s gonna miss me when I’m gone |
Life is my enemy |
It took my very best |
Left me here to cast away |
The shadows and sort through the mess |
Struggle to get by with all my might |
For one more night |
We’d see him out walking in the streets |
With nothing in his eyes |
People would stop and say hello |
He’d always act surprised |
Well he’d jump back kind of nervous |
Like a boxer who’d rather walk away than fight |
Just like autumn thunderstorms |
We knew the day would come |
When they talked about it later |
No one even knew he had a gun |
Well they found him with a picture |
Of his wife beside him such a peaceful sight |
And if God is looking down |
On this little life we’ve found |
I say you pushed that man until he couldn’t fight |
Not one more night |
Leave me here |
Stretched out on the lawn |
I don’t think anybody’s gonna miss me when I’m gone |
Life is my enemy |
It took my very best |
Left me here to cast away the shadows |
And sort through the mess |
Struggle to get by with all my might |
Oh for one more night |
Oh one more night |
No, not one more night |
