Closing Time Lyrics

Closing Time lyrics

(Tom Waits)



 



 Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you. 



 'Cause falling in love just makes me blue. 



 Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see, 



 I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me. 



 And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. 



 Well the room is crowded, people everywhere 



 And I wonder should I offer you a chair? 



 Well if you sit down with this old clown, 



 Take that frown and break it, before the evening's gone away, 



 I think that we could make it, 



 And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. 



 Well the night does funny things inside a man. 



 These old tomcat feelings you don't understand, 



 Well I turn around to look at you; you light a cigarette, 



 I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met. 



 And I hope that I don't fall in love with you. 



 I can see that you are lonesome just like me, 



 And it being late, You'd like some some company. 



 Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me, 



 The guy you're with has up and split the chair next to you's free. 



 And I hope that you don't fall in love with me. 



 Now it's closing time, the music's fading out. 



 Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout. 



 Well I turn around to look at you; you're nowhere to be found, 



 I search the place for your lost face, 



 Guess I'll have another round. 



 And I think that I just fell in love with you
