Hornsby Bruce Special Night Lyrics

Special Night Lyrics

(by Bruce R. Hornsby)

  

 Riding in the early evening, I'd say

 I know of a certain tree

 I always asked if you wanted to go

 You'd just sit there silently

 Now you say come on let's go

 You know where you want to be

 As I watch you tan inthe water so brown

 Desire gets the best of modesty

 

 Walk me down the side of the water

 Lay your weary head on me

 Lay your clothes up on the table

 Wrap your worries round the red cedar tree

 

 It's a special night

 Looks like a special night

 There'll be some changes made

 On the water tonight

 Go in a boy and come out a man

 

 Looking out at thewater

 You say, "what do you think?"

 Indecision in my face and arms

 You say you either swim or you sink

 Sliding off, sliding down

 Wetness in the evening mist

 No ride in the countryside

 Ever compared to this

 

 Walk me down the side of the water

 Lay your weary head on me

 Lay your clothes up on the table

 Wrap your worries round the red cedar tree

 

 It's a special night

 Looks like a special night

 There'll be some changes made

 On the water tonight

 Go in a boy and come out a man
