Lyrics
Nowhere to go but out in the night.
Down in the street it's a simple life.
One by one we go
Stumbling through the barroom door
Looking for a friend to talk to.
Somebody to have a drink and
Maybe share a little time with
I guess it doesn't really matter who.
In the light of day
It's better not to stay too long
Cause you don't need anyone.
I don't know how long I've been here standing
Out in the rain just thinking about her.
The way she used to take her time and
Tell me what's been on her mind.
Now she's just a girl I used to know.
I think about the love we had
Had until it all went bad
And the day I watched her go.
In the light of day
It's better not to stay too long
Cause you don't need anyone.
