LETRAS

 

BEFORE THE EVENING STEALS THE AFTERNOON

Lovers that walk on the bright side of the street
And the city chimes in the surprise of the ice-cream heat
And I want to be kissed in the haze of this hotel room
Before the evening steals the afternoon

And the traffic it shakes as my travel shaver drones
And the nations mistakes might come in, but please leave me alone
But I want to be held in the swell of her sweet perfume
Before the evening steals the afternoon

Before daylight dies and the dusty sky get rusted up with tungsten
Before the phony light stakes It's claim on the walkers waiting at the junction
From the blue shade of the park couples emerge
Dropping hands like they are still scared to get caught
But I want to get caught in their late job embraces too
Before the evening steals the afternoon
