But I decided to glide on over and give her one good try.
2263
And Lord, Lord, Lord; she was worth a try.
2264
And I was tongued-tied like a school boy,
2265
… and I stammered out some words.
2266
It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don’t think she heard.
2267
She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my head
2268
And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she said,
2269
'If you want me to come with you, then that’s all right with me.
2270
'Cause I know I’m going nowhere and anywhere’s a better place to be,
2271
Anywhere’s a better place to be.’
2272
When I drove her to my boarding house and I took her up to my room,
2273
And I went to turn on the only light to brighten up the gloom.
2274
But she said, “Please leave the light off, oh, I don’t mind the dark.”
2275
And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my heart.
2276
The moonlight shown upon her as she lay back in my bed.
2277
It was the kind of scene I only had imagined in my head.
2278
I just could not believe it, to think that she was real.
2279
And as I tried to tell her she said 'Shhh… I know just how you feel.
2280
And if you want to come here with me that’s all right with me,
2281
‘Cause I’ve been oh so lonely, lovin’ someone is a better way to be.
