Doris Day



I saw her wait,
waiting at the bus stop,
watching as her tears dropped like pennies down a well.
Oh well, we can drink until the sun comes up
I never let a good thing go
so I'll stay here if you're not leaving

I am on your side
this house is empty
we could cross the line
and we could make a big mistake
the silence breaks
and you hear me say
don't go so far away

you know I have to go

I saw your man
a fast car and a dark sun tan
you said he's in a punk rock band
well baby, punk rock's dead
Oh well, we can drink 'til you forget about him
It's not like he waits up for you
I'm sure he'd do the same thing too

But I am on your side
this house is empty
we could cross the line
and we could make a big mistake
the silence breaks
and you hear me say
don't go so far away

you know I have to go

I knew it was a crime
I did it anyway
I tell 'em we're like magnets
I tell 'em I feel no shame
If I crawl into your blood
Can I sleep under your skin'
Come on let me in don't make me wait

I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
Yes we could be making
A big mistake
The silence breaks
And you hear me say
Don't go so far away
