Lady Of The Afternoon

Lady Of The Afternoon Lyrics

It was the summer that never arrived
And the rains came day after day on the ground
She arrived in my life unexpected
And I felt I wanted her around

The days grew cold
Leaves turning crimson, brown and gold

December came in with the wind
And the fix that I'm in is a Christmas parade
Wasn't given the choice to convince her the truth
And my voice ain't a broken charade

She takes me in
I give her cash and I leave again

She's my lady of the afternoon
I rise and she surprises me
She's my lady of the afternoon
Whoa-oh

There's a change in the wind and the season begins
So I took myself out for a drive
But I let her win and she flashed me a grin
And I found myself barely alive

The wind blew cold
The sun went down and it turned to gold

Chorus x 2

In the morning when I see you
With the makeup running down your face
And the tears are slowly fading from your eyes

I look into the mirror
See the man that I'm suposed to be
Then I leave him here with you and wave goodbye

Chorus x 2

Oh Lady you wave goodbye
