Six O'clock Lyrics

There's something special 'bout six o'clock In the morning when it's still too early to knock And the dusty light shines down on the block And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock, six o'clock, six o'clock
A few hours ago She was standing here Just watching the stars in our eyes And the lights as uptights disappear
And I could feel I could say what I want That I could nudge her and call her my confidant And now I'm back alone with just my shadow in front It's six o'clock, six o'clock
I went home and found That trying to sleep was a laugh Just watching my eyelids Knowing my brain bids the night not to pass
I got up and got scuffling around But somehow, it just wasn't the same happy town And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound Six o'clock, six o'clock
If I go back where we parted Could I ever be like that again? Guess, I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow But what can I do? Tell me
Guess, I'll go back home And just wait until dawn Guess, I had to learn Going back where we were wouldn't help at all
And I wish my head had been working right We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night Now I'm back alone gettin' twisted uptight Six o'clock, six o'clock
Now I'm back alone Yes, now I'm back alone I'm back alone
