Tonight

Come around and say you love me
Hang your heart and lights above me
Is that too much to ask for
When the night descends upon us
Take a shower, dry your hair by the furnace
I'll watch you from the corner

Telephones and old typewriters
Words of love along the wires
Lets make it work tonight
Telegraphs and birds that fly
Through air so still you hear me sigh
Lets make it work tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Then furious you threw the picture
I cap in hand, an awful mixture
That kind of hard love is the worst
I try to speak
But you don't hear me
When your gone
You still feel near me
For awhile
For a little while

I try telephones and old typewriters
Words of love along the wires
But nothing is working tonight
I try telegraphs and birds that fly
Through air so still you hear me sigh
But nothing is working tonight
Tonight
Please let's make it work tonight
Please let's make it work tonight
Tonight
