[Verse 1]
The darkest night I ever seen
It was the night you came to me
On your knees whispering "I'm sorry"
Keeping time with your heartbeat
I danced along on two left feet
You kissed my cheek and left me on a city street
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where'd you go
When you left my home on your bike alone
There was room for me on your handlebars
We could've seen the stars
[Chorus]
You wanna live a life of restlessness
Wander round singing the blues
You find solace in the bar-room girls
They've got nothing to lose
You want a little life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
And watch the yellow moon rise
[Verse 2]
If I were to let you go
How far you'd fall, I'll never know
I'd grab your toes and swing you like a circus show
Tame the tiger, swallow fire
Tiptoe across the tightrope wire
Out there I hear the choir
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Would you help me find another stone to grind
And another man to mind?
Would you recognize that I might be a prize?
I might be a prize
[Chorus]
You wanna live a life of restlessness
Wander round singing the blues
You find solace in the bar-room girls
They got nothing to lose
You wanna live a life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
And watch the yellow moon rise
[Outro]
You wanna live a life of loneliness
Baby, so do I
I wanna sit under the porch light
