Down Tonight
Lyrics & music (c) by Fox Lee 1996/98/99 (http://foxlee.arts-eclectic.com)
Verse 1
There's a girl,
She'll be watching the sun go down tonight,
She's all alone,
And the rain on her window's so cold,
And there's a guy,
He'll be sleeping at a railroad station tonight,
'Cause his train got cancelled,
And he's got no place to go
And even though she knows he should be home tonight,
She trusts him and she knows he'll do what's right...
Chorus
And the sun is going down tonight,
Is their love worth anything?
She throws her head back, and listens to the wind,
And all the walls are coming down tonight,
They're risking everything, everything,
They take their chances, they may lose, and they may win...
Verse 2
Now there's a chance,
That one of them might lose their way,
And they'll end up sobbin' and screamin'
On the phone,
But there's no way
That either one could go astray
'Cause they couldn't bear
To live their lives
Alone,
And even though they know a million other names,
Nobody else could ever be the same...
Repeat chorus
Ending
Their whole world is falling down tonight,
But they find their way through the night,
They built their lives around a love they knew was right...

Another love song, if slightly less sickening. Written in about '96, modified in about '98.
