Your Night is Wide Open - Tracy Bonham

CHINESE LANTERNS STRUNG ABOVE DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES

GLOS SOFTLY MAKES THE BUMS SEEM AT THE PARTY

SOONER OR LATER SOONER OR LATER SOONER OR LATER IT ALL BELONGS TO THEM

BUT FOR THIS MOMENT FOR THIS MOMENT IT BELONGS TO US

WAKE UP BABY OPEN YOUR EYES LOOK WHERE WE ARE TODAY

CONEY ISLAND LOOKS TO ME LIKE A PHOTOGRAPH

PEOPLE POSING RECREATING A JACKSON POLLOCK

AND THE MEXICAN FISHERMEN THE MEXICAN FISHERMEN ARE WALL TO WALL BUT ALL I SEE

IS YOU

HOLD ME CLOSER HOLD ME CLOSER I AM YOURS FOR GOOD

AND I REMEMBER WHAT YOU TOLD ME «YOUR NIGHT IS WIDE OPEN»

GET IN THE VAN THE MOON IS POUNDING I’M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS RIDE JON’S GOT

A BUZZ ON IN THE BACK THAT’S WHEN YOUR WORDS CAME SHINING THROUGH

NOW LIFE IS RICHER EVEN WHEN I TIE MY SHOELACE

COLORS BRIGHTER WHAT DID I DO BEFORE YOU?

DID I SEE THROUGH THESE EYES SEE THROUGH THESE EYES SPEAK THROUGH THESE LIPS I

BEG TO DIFFER

‘TIL WE’RE DAISIES ‘TIL WE’RE DAISIES I AM YOURS FOR GOOD

AND I REMEMBER WHAT YOU TOLD ME

«YOUR NIGHT IS WIDE OPEN»
