Come over Tonight - Ron Pope

The sun left the stage,

And the blue-black horizon

Stole the last of my kind words,

I’ve nothing to say.

As we walk 'neath the street lamp

That’s flickering on

I suggest that we dance,

But you just laugh it off.

Summer love once was easy,

But innocence, she’s fleeting

And I’m not as young as I once was.

And your eyes look as tired as

A midwestern sky after

Three days of thunderstorms

But couldn’t we try…

My painted words,

Tell me what they’re worth.

And come over tonight

If you want me.

Come over tonight,

Spend some time.

I won’t ask for forever,

How 'bout til the light?

Won’t you lay with me here for a while

And come over tonight.

Recalling the way

That a candle between us

Casts shadows that seem to make sense

And there’s music in French

I don’t quite understand

As my awkward advances, they

Made us both laugh.

Now harsh words like trust, desire and love

Are just sand in the ocean for us

Cause there’s too much at stake,

And we couldn’t explain,

So for now, can’t we just pretend

That this is enough?

My painted words,

Tell me what they’re worth.

And come over tonight

If you want me.

Come over tonight,

Spend some time.

I won’t ask for forever,

How 'bout til the light?

Won’t you lay with me here for a while

And come over tonight.

Come over tonight

If you want me.

Come over tonight,

Spend some time.

I won’t ask for forever,

Forever’s too long.

Won’t you lay with me here for a while,

Won’t you lay with me here for a while,

Won’t you lay with me here for a while,

And come over tonight.
