Keep Me In The Dark

(Album: So Red The Rose - 1985)

When the evening's sunlight fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers
Softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows lie
I need your blind full secrets
Hunting fast and loose
The lacy intrigue of this weekend
Should not be abused

You could take me where you want
Could you take me all the time

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Tender is the truce I'm tasting
Watching you dictate
Heady nights of sleepless wasting
A face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye
To all of the boys, cheerio

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Help me now I'm slipping deeper
Tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer
Each time you turn away
Something inside you cries
But is it something I'll never find

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Away, yeah
Wait a little longer
Before we go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like to think you
Were keeping me in the dark
