lyrics

I know it's getting late but
You don't have to go

It's late on a February night
We sit inside by my dim desk light
You're looking out the window waiting for that car
The headlights flashing but it's not your ride tonight
No, they won't show
You're looking out the window still as if there's hope

I tried to amuse you
Making shadow puppets by my dim desk light
Your mind is out the window still, it's on that car
The headlights flashing and the shadows racing
Oh, it's alright
You know if you want to you can stay here for the night

I know it's getting late but
You don't have to go

February night turns to February dawn
You didn't have to go
