Lyrics from ‘I Work Nights.’
We’ve got to stop meeting like this.
A song I wrote in cold blood @ my piano, as a duet, that I knew I wanted to have on the CD. The wonderful Sarah Eida was my first and only choice to help me sing it, and she is also the co-writer of this fictional account of an illicit lust affair.
It’s 4 o’clock in the morning
I can’t get you out of my head
And my brain is humming with all those things
I very nearly said
You know my friends don’t like you
They think you’re bitter, twisted and old
But right now I would give up everything
To watch you get involved
If I find you in a doorway
Waiting for your man to come home
I’ll disappear like circus smoke
And call you up later on
I don’t know where this is going
Maybe just one more kiss
But I know, we’ve got to stop meeting like this
6 o’clock and it’s raining
I’m standing at the factory gates
I am waiting for the whistle to blow
So we can make our escape
Something about you holds me
Holds me deep but I don’t know
Is it wrong, or is it right
To carry on this Midnite Show?
If I find you in a doorway
Waiting for your man to come home
I’ll disappear like circus smoke
And call you up later on
I don’t know where this is going
Maybe just one more kiss
But I know, we’ve got to stop meeting like this
Oh give me something to believe in
Oh tell me something I don’t know
Now it’s 5 o’clock in the morning
I can’t get you out of my head
My mouth is dry, I can’t think straight
And what was that you nearly said
You know my friends don’t like you
They think you’re evil, twisted and bold
But right now I would give you everything
And you know that I can’t be told, No!
If I find you in a doorway
Waiting for your man to come home
I’ll disappear like circus smoke
And call you up later on
I don’t know where this is going
Maybe just one more kiss
But I know, we’ve got to stop meeting like this
If I find you in a doorway
Waiting for your man to come home
I’ll disappear like circus smoke
And call you up later on
I don’t know where this is going
Maybe just one more kiss
But I know, we’ve got to stop meeting like this
Don’t you know that it’s Magic
Sometimes, when you meet someone knew, it just feels like magic. As it was when I met the subject of this song.
Don’t you know that it’s magic
When I’m talking to you
Everything about the way
You hold yourself is true
And even though it can take all night
For me to get a message through
Don’t you know that it’s magic
And I want to put a spell on you
Take a walk in the country air
Just to breathe in deep
I could stay up with you all night
Till the morning starts to creep
And even though it’s cold outside
It’s something that we’ve got to do
Don’t you know that it’s magic
And I want to put a spell on you
HEY WAIT A MINUTE
What did you say just then
I didn’t really catch it I was looking in your eyes
Oh and when I drove you home
I swear the moon was shining just for you
Don’t you know that it’s magic
solo
And even though it can take all night
For me to get a message through
Don’t you know that it’s magic
And I want to put a spell on you
Don’t you know that it’s magic
When I’m talking to you
Everything about the way
You hold yourself is true
And even though it’s cold outside
It’s something that we’ve got to do….
Don’t you know that it’s magic
And I want to put a spell on you
Don’t you know that it’s magic, baby
I want to put a spell on you
Don’t you know that it’s magic, baby
And I want to put a spell on you
