Maybe Not Tonight

Glen Hansard · Rhythm And Repose [2012]

Echoes of another time

Playing lightly on my mind

There's many rivers still to cross

To temper the bitterness and loss,

Though what you say is true

This might be it for me and you

Maybe we can draw that line

Maybe another time.

Well I wanna do what's right

But maybe not tonight.



Memories of another town

Those pretty eyes, that pretty frown.

In the long grass where we lay

And let the whole world fall away.

And though in time we've walked apart,

You were always in my heart

Maybe we should say goodbye

But maybe not tonight.



I remember you were just a child

Burning brightly and running wild

We married on an August night

No priest, no church, just the big moon shining bright.

Maybe we should be moving on,

And figure what is done is done

Maybe we should break those vows

Oh, but maybe not right now

Maybe we should do what's right

But baby not tonight.

Maybe we should both just do what's right

But baby not tonight.
