On a Night Like This

M it seems I’d known you from the start
On a night like this by candle in the dark
Are you drinking
Are you reading
Did you watch
The barges on their low celestial waltz

And m i think I’d seen it once before
On a night like this a thousand nights ago
We were drinking
We were laughing
And we were stoned
In the lights
Arrested motion on the shore

M what do you want
These days I find that I sure ask myself a lot
When I’m bored
Angry and drunk
And lonesome lonesome alone

M you see I’m waiting here until
When one day our days are finally overfilled
Are we laughing
Are we drinking
Am I still
Full of new regrets
All blood and sweat
And will

M what do you want
These days I find that I sure ask myself a lot
When I’m bored
Angry and drunk
And lonesome lonesome alone

Well sometimes I lay things to rest
