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'til 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 'round me sometimes

All I know is that 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 'round me sometimes

All I know is that 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 'round me sometimes

All I know is that we've got to aim higher

Babe I wish that we'd go for the great escape
