Overnite

[Verse 1: Green Gartside (Backing vocalists)]
When I was seventeen (Tell us about it, Green)
There was a world to know about (Check it out)
Every day I'd call her (What'd you say?)
"Is it over yet? Do you love me?"

[Chorus 1]
Overnight and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above I'll build you another day
Close your eyes. I'll be home before it's light
And all the tears you cry will dry in the dead of night

[Verse 2: Green (Backing vocalists)]
And now I'm in between (Tell us about it, Green)
It all became a mystery (Check it out)
Every day she calls me (What'd she say?)
"It isn't over yet. Do you believe them?"

[Chorus 2]
Overnight and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above I'll build you another day
Close your eyes. I'll be home before it's light
And all the fears you have will die in the dead of night

[Bridge]
Someday, maybe soon, we could show them a way
I would love just to watch it falling
Oh, my pretty one, show me a way

[Chorus 3]
Overnight I heard a satellite say
There'll be a wind from the west to blow all your dreams away
Close your eyes and maybe before it's light
Oh, all the hopes that you have will die in the dead of night

Overnight and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above I'll build you another day
Close your eyes. I'll be home before it's light
And all the tears you cry will dry in the dead of night

Overnight and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above I'll build you another day
Close your eyes. I'll be home before it's light
Oh, all the hopes that you have will die in the dead of night

[Ad-libs]
Night
Light
