Fortunately, I

Come Monday morning, and I'm still here
Though I thought that I'd be miles away somewhere
Oh, but something's got me
I can't let go
And she's lying on the bed 'cause she don't even know

I can't keep this to myself
In case it never comes this way again
She sits around with me
If you stay one more night, we'll let the world go by
Just let the world go by

Night gets lonely
Try to let it slip away
But it won't slip away
And fortunately, I
I need it for awhile
I need it for awhile

Oh, Monday disappears
I can't seem to pull myself away from here
Darling, darling, a bitter soul
So come on, turn the lights down
Pull the curtains closed
You whisper softly, "Hold me here"
Let it come from where it should
'Cause it's alright with me, if it takes you all night
We'll let the world go by
We'll let the world go by

Night gets lonely
Try to let it slip away
But it won't slip away
And fortunately, I
I need it for awhile
I need it for a while

(All that's left on Monday is the moon outside, this room, well fortunately, I)

'Cause I am slowly trying to let it slip away
But it won't slip away
And fortunately, I
I need it for awhile
I need it for awhile
Darling, darling, a bitter soul
So come on, turn the lights down
Darling, darling, a bitter soul
Come on, turn the lights down
Fortunately, I
