Lyrics

Six O'Clock (My Dawn Confession) © 2012 Ken Kahn

This party is almost over - A slurring of words and whisper moves
They're taking it slow now baby - They're ringing that last call bell
And I am just standing, waiting, exactly for what, I couldn't say
The things I should say now baby, the feelings I ought to tell.
But now you're leaving and I can't get the words past my pride.

Six o'clock, my dawn confession, laying out my soul
Secrets told at my discretion to no one at all
As the sky begins to brighten, city hums anew
Six o'clock another night ends with my thoughts of you.

I know you've been patient, waiting. I know I've been running hot and cold.
I know there are words to say this. I see I could lose control.
It could be a silent movie - For all that I don't express myself
It isn't rejection looming; I know you would listen well.
I pace the floor when you're gone, and see your face until dawn.

Six o'clock, my dawn confession, laying out my soul
Secrets told at my discretion to no one at all
As the sky begins to brighten, city hums anew
Six o'clock another night ends thinking about you

BREAK

Our party is almost over, a flurry of sighs and distant tones
Emotions I couldn't bear to share - Emotions I'll have alone.
I see our end as it nears, salute the sun with my tears

Six o'clock, my dawn confession, laying out my soul
Secrets told at my discretion to no one at all
As the sky begins to brighten, city hums anew
Six o'clock another night ends with my thoughts of you.
Six o'clock another night ends thinking about you, baby.
Thinking about you.
