They Only Come Out at Night

(Walt Altridge/John Jarrad/Lisa Palas)



I've seen you out with your "in" crowd

Holdin' somebody, and laughin' loud

That was me, you know

Whose eyes were burning through you

Someone rings you late at night

But, no one says hello at the end of your line

That was me, you know

Breathing warm in your ear.



All day, I do fine

Those sweet old memories never cross my mind

Oh, they only come out at night.



When you look out your window, and it's three o' clock

Some fool's ridin' round and round your block

That's me, you know

Driving myself crazy

And, when you hear a rustle, or the back door squeak

Turn off the lights, and go back to sleep

That's me, you know

Haunted by what used to be.



All day, I do fine

Those sweet old memories never cross my mind

Oh, they only come out at night.



All day, I do fine

Those sweet old memories never cross my mind

Oh, they only come out at night.



Oh, they only come out at night...
