Lyrics
Hurried Nights Music and Lyrics Kara Johnstad©1999 The evening started out just fine Italien pasta then some wine And you said, “our friendships sacred, I just don´t dare” You see I have a wife and son I love them more then anyone And I said “ I know, yet for years it hangs in the air” Refrain Hurried Nights As we finish our meal Hurried Nights Trying to see what is real Mmmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmm Verse: We try to small talk tongue gets tied We try to switch from heart to mind Yet the pull´s too strong it tugs and pulls at the air You tell me things about your day I vaquely listen, watch your ways Then you shift, “Are you thru? I just can´t stand this chair.” Refrain Hurried Nights As we´re pulled through the dark Hurried Nights Chavela Vargas she sparks you And slowly you und my blouse Forgetting to think of your spouse Interlude: Wondering if you´ll think of me Wondering if you care Wondering if our friendship Will end up in mid-air Refrain: Hurried nights As you walk out the door Hurried Nights Leaving me on the floor You with your wife in your head I get up slowly for bed Interlude Wondering why you left so soon Wondering if you´ll get home Wondering if I´ll sleep tonight alone Or if you´ll phone Wondering if you´ll tell her Wondering what she´ll say Wondering why I wish so much That you would have stayed
