Close your eyes I mean it for a second Close your eyes Baby do your best to concentrate your mind Fix it upon whatever you like I'm drunk on a memory back when we were just seventeen Holding Lake Michigan with your eyes on me Or are my hands deep in the pockets of my blue jeans? I said you could be my Meryl and I will be your James Dean I want to waste awhile with you baby in the living room I'm never gonna sleep again You lovely creature washing over me like rain Slowly draining all the black out of my veins Until my eyes shine gold as the morning I was loved by a woman I remember Sundays Driving down to Dallas in a summer haze Sugar I was there when you walked off the plane Standing like an angel with your suitcase And all I wanted was to be your guardian I want to waste awhile with you baby in the living room I'm never gonna sleep again You lovely creature washing over me like rain Slowly draining all the black out of my veins Until my eyes shine gold as the morning I was loved by a woman I want to waste awhile with you
