One More Night - Blue Rodeo.mp3

[00:12.15]He came into the world with his eyes wide open
[00:14.91]Knew what it was all about
[00:17.88]He grew into a man that the sun just followed
[00:20.73]Knew himself inside out
[00:23.25]We'd watch him go to work each day
[00:26.61]Come back underneath the moonlit night
[00:35.49]We'd hear them laughing talking always
[00:38.04]Safe behind the walls
[00:40.95]Nobody knew too much about them
[00:43.74]They never even answered calls
[00:45.96]Well his wife was small and pretty
[00:48.66]Like a shell illuminated by the light
[00:57.54]Well I know there is a plan
[01:00.42]But at least from where I stand
[01:03.33]I would love to take the place of that man
[01:08.64]For just one night
[01:15.24]Sometimes situations seem
[01:17.82]Too perfect to be true
[01:21.24]People talk and shake their heads
[01:23.94]The way that people do
[01:26.13]You know that small towns show no mercy
[01:29.13]And they see their envy in a different light
[01:38.82]I woke up late to a big commotion
[01:41.37]Wondering what it all was for
[01:44.28]Voices screaming in the darkness
[01:46.92]Fire and smoke next door
[01:49.20]There was someone lying on the lawn and
[01:52.89]Someone trapped behind the firelight
[01:56.31]What could we say
[02:03.69]As we watched life slip away
[02:06.48]There was nothing we could do to make it right
[02:11.82]Not on that night
[02:16.41]Ah leave me here he said
[02:18.60]Stretched out on the lawn
[02:21.54]I don't think anybody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
[02:25.95]Life is my enemy
[02:30.12]It took my very best
[02:33.03]Left me here to cast away
[02:35.61]The shadows and sort through the mess
[02:38.64]Struggle to get by with all my might
[02:43.47]For one more night
[03:25.56]We'd see him out walking in the streets
[03:27.45]With nothing in his eyes
[03:30.60]People would stop and say hello
[03:33.24]He'd always act surprised
[03:35.49]Well he'd jump back kind of nervous
[03:38.49]Like a boxer who'd rather walk away than fight
[03:44.88]Just like autumn thunderstorms
[03:47.55]We knew the day would come
[03:51.06]When they talked about it later
[03:53.25]No one even knew he had a gun
[03:55.65]Well they found him with a picture
[03:58.53]Of his wife beside him such a peaceful sight
[04:07.26]And if God is looking down
[04:10.17]On this little life we've found
[04:12.90]I say you pushed that man until he couldn't fight
[04:18.27]Not one more night
[04:22.32]Leave me here
[04:25.17]Stretched out on the lawn
[04:27.99]I don't think anybody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
[04:32.40]Life is my enemy
[04:36.60]It took my very best
[04:39.51]Left me here to cast away the shadows
[04:43.20]And sort through the mess
[04:45.12]Struggle to get by with all my might
[04:50.04]Oh for one more night
[04:56.25]Oh one more night
[05:00.87]No, not one more night
