lyrics

When the Night is Cool and All the Boys Are Sleeping
Lyrics and music © 2008 by Alexa Weber Morales (BMI)

When the night is cool
And all the boys are sleeping
I remember the kiss you gave to me

No one understands you
Even I can’t stand you
20 years slip by so mysteriously

I gently close the door they
Turn on hidden flashlights
Drawing plans that I will never read

Once I met a man who
Blew the sky wide open
Threw his stars into my empty sea

Now I scan the clouds in vain
Hoping for summer rain
My thirsty soul has finally gone to seed

I’ve done my best to leave you
Cast my bloody heart to stone
But I can’t let you sleep on the streets alone

There are things you can’t forget
And there are things I cannot think
And yet you drink it all away

Just for once can you just feel it
Kiss my lips and let fate seal it

When the night is cool and
All the boys are sleeping
I remember the kiss you gave to me

Sweeping up the plastic soldiers
Toy grenades under the couch
Will they grow up to be all that they can be?

Communing with the bad boys
Vacuuming the sad noise
Your dirty footprints wind up everywhere

I’ve done my best to leave you
Cast my bloody heart to stone
But I can’t let you sleep on the streets alone
