| She loves to drive east in the evening when the sun is all golden and low
|
| When nobody knows she’s arriving and there’s nobody waiting at home
|
| She told that she still has a lover but he’s away for a year at a time
|
| And if I wanted to I could go see her but she told me she’d never be mine
|
| She said that she loves to go dancing but she’d rather go dancing alone
|
| She said that there’s no point in dancing with someone that you already know
|
| Then she asked me if she met a stranger would I share her for only an hour
|
| She said don’t worry boy there’s no danger I get amnesia straight after a shower
|
| And I know that you do what you say
|
| And what you want while you’re away
|
| I just wish you wouldn’t look at me that way
|
| For so long, so long
|
| She said don’t wait for me in the darkness I can find my way home if it’s clear
|
| By observing the stars and their movements and by holding a shell to my ear
|
| She said boy you’d better find yourself somewhere new to go after your days
|
| work is done
|
| Because me I love to drive east in the evening I can’t wait for the night time
|
| to come
|
| I love to drive east in the evening you know it makes me feel so alive
|
| I can’t wait for his sweet return and for the night time to arrive
|
| And I know that you do what you say
|
| And what you want while you’re away
|
| I just wish you wouldn’t look at me that way
|
| For so long, so long, so long |
