HEADER

lately i’ve been getting home so late
working at a bar on the night shift washing plates
when i get home you’re never still awake
goodnight sweetheart for today

you get up to catch your bus to work
working banker’s hours as a downtown counter clerk
the pay’s not great your boss is such a jerk
well goodnight sweetheart for today

i only see you
when we’re sleeping in bed
let’s quit our jobs and pay the bills in loving instead

when you get home i’m walking out the door
off to clean the plates i’ve cleaned a thousand times before
that’s the only time i see you anymore
so goodnight my love for today

i almost see you
our time together’s always near misses
let’s quit our jobs and pay the rent in kisses
