At the close of every day

Theres a woman passing

Lover did you hear her say

Her one last word

Were all doing time

Somethings closing

Havent you heard?



The woman that weve tried to stop

Now sits alone just waiting 'til forever

Forever makes me cry

And i dont know why all you people

Put that into my head

I cant see why this conversation

Is looking kind of dead



At the close of every day

Theres a woman passing

Lover did you hear her say

Her one last word

Im often doing time

And i dont know just why you reckon

It would be this day and



Dont you see that my hearts on fire

Your wicked wings that you spread round me sometimes

All i know is that weve got to aim higher

Babe i wish that wed go for the great escape



So you do praise a different light

And i am blinded by it

So sorry that i made you cry

Your faith in me it had to die

I guess that

That its too late

The lights are out

The partys over baby

And now

I wish id told you



Dont you see that my hearts on fire

Your wicked wings that you spread round me sometimes

All i know is that weve got to aim higher

Babe i wish that wed go for the great escape



Dont you see that my hearts on fire

Your wicked wings that you spread round me sometimes

All i know is that weve got to aim higher

Babe i wish that wed go for the great escape
