lyrics

It's getting late
even the drunks have gone home
ran out of backstreets
and alleys to roam
the whores have all
bedded down for the night
while the cops catch their breath
and they turn out the lights

Now I'm pacing the floor
with an old picture frame
cursing out loud
while whispering your name
booze and pills
they take too long
so on this guitar
I'll write you a song

Can you hide me
from these sad goodbyes
can you hide me
from the nights that make me cry
Can you hide me
from these sad goodbyes
can you hide me
from the nights that make me cry

I wanna dump it all
on the side of the road
wanna strike a match
and watch it explode
suck the pain
out of the air
feel the breeze
blow back your hair

Can you hide me
from these sad goodbyes
can you hide me
from the nights that make me cry

Moon and the tide
what if they lost their way
and could no longer hear
what the other might say
what if I shake
in the middle of the night
would you cool my brow
would you hold me tight

Can you hide me
from these sad goodbyes
can you hide me
from the nights that make me cry

What if I showed you
the end of the world
with mouths hung open
and flags unfurled
would you believe in love
just one last time
be a fool from me
and take what's mine

Can you hide me
from these sad goodbyes
can you hide me
from the nights that make me cry
Can you hide me
from these sad goodbyes
can you hide me
from the nights that make me cry
