On The Town

(album: The Liberty Of Norton Folgate - 2009)

Oh, it's early in the morning
It's raining and the streetlights
Streaming through my windows
Casting shadows on the ceiling

The room is oh so empty
Stand against the wall
The clock is ticking loudly
It's deafening in this quiet room

Oh, how long have I been waiting?

What am I to say?
Inside I don't want to stay
Oh, 'cause I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown

I can hear you in the hallway
It's not unusual you're there everyday
Only now the hour's so late
Every minute I've had to wait

Has been an eternity
But now you're back again with me
The clock says five fifteen
Oh, won't you tell me where you've been?
Won't you tell me where you've been?

What am I to say?
Inside I don't want to stay
Oh, 'cause I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown

And if I met another guy
Who could not say I would not lie?

I saw you in the morning
It was just like every other day
You kissed me on the cheek
I said, "Here comes another week"

You glanced out of the window
And I asked you where your thoughts go
"I'm just tired I guess", you said
And turned away your head
You just turned away your head

What am I to say?
Inside I don't want to stay
Oh, 'cause I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown

What am I to say?
I could not stand another day
Oh, I wish that you could see
That it's all over for me

And if I met another guy
Who could not say I would not lie

'Cause I've been on the town
I've been on the town
'Cause I've been on the town
I've been on the town

I've been on the town
I've been on the town
I've been on the town
I've been on the town

I've been on the town
On the town
I've been on the town
