CAPO 4
[Intro]
La la la la la la Emla
La la la la la la Cla
La la la la la la Emla
La la la la la la Cla la la
[Verse]
Couple young Ggirls went sailing down EmA1A
To the arms of CFlorida sailing down a Dhighway
Singing their Emheads off, tainted by the Holy CGhosts
Flying in from the Gocean, driving with their eyDes closed
[Chorus]
The Cnight wants to Dkiss you dEmeep, and be on his way
CPretend he don't Dknow you  Gthe very next dDay
Isn't it Chard sometimes, isn't it Emlonely
How I still hang Caround here when Dthere's nothing to Emhold me
[Verse]
You slide down Ginto the sea from twelve hours Emon your feet
And get the tide to wash Cyou away, thousands and tDhousands of days
And someone you nEmever meet signs a check you get Cevery week
You try and still Gcan't forget all the strangers that Dyou have met
[Chorus]
The Cnight never oweDd you noEmthing anyway
CMakes promises that he Dnever intends to Gkeep every Dday
Isn't it Chard sometimes, isn't it Emlonely
How I still hang Caround here, and Dthere's nothing to Emhold me
[Bridge]
CEvery time every Dyear the travelers coEmme and go
You see them landing with their Cpale wings
And flying back to the Dsnow
[Verse]
And the summer comes Gmarching in with his heavy Emboots on
Kicking along the Cblacktopped sidewalks of DA1A
The young girls in their Embare feet, cigarettes smokCing
Looking every wGhich way, wishing and Da'hoping
[Chorus]
And you want the Cnight just to Dlet you Emsleep and be on his way
CWrap you up in some Dcool sheets and hGave nothing to Dsay
Isn't it Chard sometimes, isn't it Emlonely
How I still hang Caround here, and Dthere's nothing to Emhold me
Isn't it Chard sometimes, isn't it Emlonely
How I still hang Caround here, and Dthere's nothing to Emhold meC  
La la la la la la Emla
