The Late Shift

And he said
But if it costs too much
I don't want to pay for bad luck
I've got an overdraft in the blues
I 'm not investing in your shoes
I walk alone

Café is quiet, evening is long
This shift ain't ending, radio's on
Same old preaching to the same old fools
Rules about love when no one rules

And she said
But if it costs too much
I don't want to pay for bad luck
I've got an overdraft in the blues
You're not investing in my shoes
You walk alone

Ten thirty five and the day should be done
Shutters are pulled but there's a table for one
Nursing a bottle and an ego that's bruised
Easy for love to get angry and confused

But you said
What if it costs too much
I don't want to pay for bad luck
I've got an overdraft in the blues
I 'm not investing in your shoes
I walk alone

Café is quiet, evening is long
This shift ain't ending, radio's on
Same old preaching to the same old fools
Rules about love when no one rules

Any old music

Any old music will do
I'm just living for your smile it's true
Any old music
Rhythm or rhyme
I'm just living this time

Any old port
Any old storm
I'm sick and tired
Of being lost and forlorn
Any old music will do

( Owls on the wing
Are passing by
Silently watching
Another night sky )

Any old music will do
I'm just living for your smile it's true
Any old music
Rhythm or rhyme
I'm just living this time
