somewhere in the night
i heard you crying
it was all just a dream
everybody knows
the summer’s dying
And you and i roll separately
i don’t know
where you’ll go
i can only guess
this is not my strongest suit
maybe it’s a test
do i want you?
i don’t want to
you were a pilgrim on a pathway
me, a lover on the road
i pulled into your driveway
to see if you came home
and there you were
in your mother’s dress
what are we waiting for?
a tired dance we both know
But are we keeping score?
do i want you?
i don’t want to
i moved away, i missed the seasons
i moved away, i missed the coast
i moved away, i didn’t notice
that i missed you the most
there’s something soothing in the darkness
there’s something funny in the light
there’s something hiding in your heart, yes
i wanna find you tonight

What a great treat! Brings me back to 1998, a much simpler time. My girlfriend (now wife) and I saw you at McCarter Theater back then and we still remember it fondly. Thanks so much for sharing this concert! egordon99
