Invitations

--Invitations--

With a fleeting smile below the lazy eyes
And the face that's not attempting to disguise
It's an open invitation showing all the signs
'Sample my supply'
And her fingers touch the hand below the lace
She suggests a later time another place
He accepts her invitation 'Wanna spend some time?'
Written on her face
Her stiletto heels go clicking through his head
With the glossy invitation he mis-read
And you'd think he couldn't fail to read between the line
Plays the fool instead

--Lose Myself--

Dancin' through the night next to you
Close up and so tight, just we two
People all around disappear
I lose myself in you when you're near

--Lonely Afternoon--

An old man walks along the path,
It isn't raining anymore.
The hotel sign reflects upon a lorry parked below.
A kid goes walking home from school,
And stands there at the door.
Behind the windows people sit waiting
For the bus to go.

Another long, lonely afternoon away from you,
And a long, dark, lonely night ahead.
It's been a long, lonely afternoon here on my own,
Such a long, dark, lonely night ahead.

The heavy clouds are forming for
Another dark and rainy night.
A woman hurries home before the storm begins to break.
And as she turns to cross the street,
Waiting for the light,
She glances quickly at her watch,
Hoping that she won't be late.

Another long, lonely afternoon away from you,
And a long, dark, lonely night ahead.
It's been a long, lonely afternoon here on my own,
Such a long, dark, lonely night ahead.

--Stranger--

Stranger, It's time to go.
Out of my life and back to her.
Stranger, too late I know,
You don't have to say a word.

Stranger, you play with fire,
And fingers are burning once again.
Stranger, no need to lie,
She couldn't be just a friend.

--Usual Situation--

Usual situation, he couldn't think what to say.
It was never easy, the words get in the way.
Lookin' for a reason, to stop and ask her name.
But the chance disappears once again.

Usual situation, if only they could meet.
She sees him every morning, just across the street.
She can't understand it, it's always just the same.
And the chance disappears once again.
