Well, I've sung out one more evening Yes I'm wrung out, feeling beat And I walk on out the door once more To an empty city street A good guitar will serve you well When you're living in the lights But it's never going to warm you In the middle of the night And so I come and go with her in whispers Each and every time she says she dies When she is reborn again, I kiss her And the baby never cries She works in the daytime She leaves her baby with a friend And I sing every evening I only see her now and then I come to her at midnight When 'bout half the world's asleep And she puts me back together In the hours before I leave So I come and go with her in whispers Each and every time she says she dies When she is reborn again, I kiss her And the baby never cries Her apartment's down on Perry Street And there's a tree in her backyard And it rubs the bedroom window When the wind is blowing hard Her old man had left her He just took off for the coast And I caught her on the rebound When I needed her the most So I come and go with her in whispers And each and every time she says she dies When she is reborn again, I kiss her And the baby never cries
