At the close of every day There's a woman passing. Lover did you hear her say Her one last word? "We're all doing time" Something's closing Haven't you heard? The woman that we've tried to stop Now sits alone just waiting till forever, Forever makes me cry and I don't know Why all you people, put that into my head I can't see why this conversation Is looking kind of dead. At the close of every day There's a woman passing. Lover, did you hear her say Her one last word? I'm often doing time And I don't know just Why you reckon it would be This day and Don't you see That my heart's on fire? Your wicked wings that you Spread around me sometimes. All I know is we've got to aim higher Babe, I wish that we'd go For the great escape. So you do praise a different light And I am blinded by it, so sorry That I made you cry Your faith in me it had to die I guess that, that it's too late, The lights are out, The party's over, baby And now I wish I'd told you Don't you see That my heart's on fire? Your wicked wings that you Spread around me sometimes All I know is we've got to aim higher Babe, I wish that we'd go For the great escape. Don't you see That my heart's on fire? Your wicked wings that you Spread around me sometimes. All I know is we've got to aim higher Babe, I wish that we'd go For the great escape. In your shade I'll shape my life Then I know it's alright And I'll take one last look at you Then I know it's alright.
