Lyrics When Your Parents Go To Sleep - Kevin Ayers

When Your Parents Go To Sleep

You lie sleeping all warm
I’m here waiting in the storm
Waiting for the time to come when I can come in
And make sweet love to you till I have to go again
I’ve been waiting for hours
I’ve been through snowstorms and showers
Waiting for the lights to fade and your parents go to sleep
Then just like a randy cat into your bed I’ll creep
Yes I remember your smell
Yes I remember, remember it well
Strange kind of animal music in the night
Crazy feeling, I just can’t explain it right
So I send you these words
Let them flutter 'round like birds
Times are changed and rearranged but something lingers on
I still remember you, that’s why I wrote this song
