Album: Nightsongs (2001)

Tonight

Come around and say you love me
Hang your heart in 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
Let's make it work tonight
Telegraphs and birds that fly
Through air so still you hear me sigh
Let's 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 you're 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
