six o'clock

Theres something special about six oclock
In the morning when its still too early to knock.
And the dusty light shines down on the block
And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock.
Six oclock, six oclock.
A few hours ago she was standing here
Just watching the stars in our eyes
and the lights as uptights disappear.
And I could feel I could say what I want
That I could nudge her and call her my confidante
And now Im back alone with just my shadow in front.
Six oclock, six oclock.
I went home and found that trying to sleep was a laugh
Just watching my eyelids knowing my brain bids the night not to pass.
I got up and got to scuffling around
But somehow it just wasnt the same happy town
And the bells didnt ring with the same happy sound.
Six oclock, six oclock.
If I go back where we parted
Could I ever be like that again?
Guess Ill just have to wait til tomorrow
But what can I do til then?
Guess Ill go back home and just wait until dawn
Guess I had to learn going back where we were wouldnt help at all.
And I wish my head had been working right
Wed have gone for coffee and talked all night.
But now Im back alone feelintwisted up tight.
Six oclock, six oclock.
Now Im back alone...
Yes, now Im back alone...
Im back alone
