Company

(album: O Zambezi - 1978)

One in the morning and I don't feel so tired
Welcome, my friend, I've been expecting you
City glitters like a crown of thorns
Tell me what you're thinking and what you did today
So you want to fill the vacuum, cast your time aside
Cut the night adrift, my friend, take you for a ride

Company, anyone
Company, lonely hearts
Company, in the dark
Company

I'm getting used to midnight excursions
I'm getting used to candle burnt at both ends
I'm getting used to staring at the wall
I'm getting used to living without love

You know what you're in for night-clubbing til dawn
Prisoners of the boredom, chess game that's all pawns
Once you've paid your money, you're in win, lose or draw
The city's such a jungle, lion's song is short

Company, I'll take it until the morning comes
Company, we'll take it [?]
Company, in my arms
Company, all your charm
Company, anyone
Company

Company, in the dark
Company, touch and spark
Company, take my hand
Company

Company
