lyrics

Hey!

As I'm driving down Main Street
Keeping up nine
And now I'm tryna' keep alive in the dead of night
Hey oh,
In the dead of night
In the dead of night I've been waiting for you
So long so long, what ya' gonna do?

Keep the lights on honey
And the doors wide open
Cuppa tea waiting for when in you come a-walking
Hey oh,
With a cuppa tea waiting
With a cuppa tea waiting for when in you come a-walking
Hey oh, hey oh, what ya' gonna say?

Oh I know, you say
I can't be saved
Oh, you come & go
You come and go

So did I keep you down or did I take you higher
If I said no I'd be liar
But oh my darling well, don't mind me I'm just
Passing through to you

Beneath your steel there's skin and bone
And it takes two to make a house a home
But if I keep you up at night
Oh if I do,
Darling you can sleep soon

'Cos I know, you say
I can't be saved
Oh, you come & go

Woah-oh-oh-oh!
Came to me like a dog from the mud and I welcomed you like a gift from God
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Came to you like a gift from God and you welcomed me like a dog from the mud
Woah-oh-oh-oh!
Dog from the mud
Or a gift from God

Oh you come and go!
You come and go
Go.
