Bruce Hornsby - Special Night lyrics

rate me

B. R. Hornsby

Riding in the early evening I'd say

I know of a certain tree

I always asked if you wanted to go

You'd just sit there silently

Now you say come on let's go

You know where you want to be

As I watch you tan in the waters so brown

Desire gets the best of modesty

Walk me down the side of the water

Lay your weary head on me

Lay your clothes up on the table

Wrap your worries round the red cedar tree

It's a special night

Looks like a special night

There'll be some changes made on the water tonight

Go in a boy and come out a man

Looking out at the water

You say "What do you think?"

Indecision in my face and arms

You say you either swim or you sink

Sliding off sliding on down

Wetness in the evening mist

No ride in the countryside

Ever compared to this

Walk me down the side of the water

Lay your weary head on me

Lay your clothes up on the table

Wrap your worries round the red cedar tree

It's a special night

Looks like a special night

There'll be some changes made on the water tonight

Go in a boy and come out a man
