Album: Beachcomber's Windowsill
Goodnight, goodnight the sun is long out of sight,
and I stagger home by the street lights.
Goodnight, goodnight,
went out after work tonight: only meant to stay for a swift pint
and I'm giving you a call though I'm in no fit state,
and I know its far too late,
and I'm hardly thinking straight
'cause I've missed you ever since you moved away from here,
and its not the same this year.
I wish I could teleport you here tonight to say
Goodnight soul mate,
I know I'm in no state to call you up and keep you up so late,
but I had to hear you,
talking in my ear.
I've been so lonely since you left me here.
So Goodnight,
I'm back and I'm through the door now,
hear me go bouncing down the hall now.
Goodnight goodnight soul mate,
oh but if you were here tonight,
we could climb up through the skylight.
Remember lying in your attic on those summer nights?
Our hands trembling side by side,
those were the best days of my whole life.
And now I know you're moving on and I've been trying too,
trying not to speak to you, but I still cant sleep here without you, to wish me a
Goodnight soul mate.
I know I'm in no state to call you up and keep you up so late
but but I just had to hear you
talking in my ear.
I've been so lonely since you left me here.
And I've got my friends but I cant really talk to them, like I can talk to you
remember how we used to stay up very, very late and smoke and listen: did I say how much I miss you?
Now I'm keeping you from sleeping now
I only called to called to wish you
could be here tonight to hold me while I wished you a goodnight soul mate.
I know I'm in no state to call you up and keep you up so late.
