Late Nights and Hard Conversations
Curry house clock says a quarter past one and counting Asif’s taken the plates and gone away And now the table’s cleared you’ll clear your conscience Tell me all the things you want to say
After several beers your fears come tumbling down Sober too embarrassed to come clean A drunken fool and his secrets are soon parted Alcohol lets you say what you really mean
Late nights and hard conversations Mind games and quick imaginations Late nights and hard conversations with you Late nights and hard conversations Coded questions and subtle evasions Late nights testing my patience with you
Talking about your dreams and schemes and self-esteem Trying to make sense where the rhythm never rhymes It all seems so obvious where I’m sitting But we’ve covered all this ground so many times
Together we wander down your mind’s dark corridors Trying all the doors one by one Hoping for a glimpse of light if nothing more Hoping all the chances haven’t gone
Late nights and hard conversations…
Then I go home to my praying Hear myself, listen to what I’m saying Like what all night I’ve been listening to O Lord is this what I put you through ? O Lord is this what I put you through ?
Late nights and hard conversations…
Late nights and hard conversations…
