John & Mary

Shudder Girl
Waiting on the center road as the setting sun grew redI saw accidents that made me twist my headAnd I walked along the river bankSmoke-grey clouds appearedAnd I knew inside exactly what I fearedOh, away from me her black eyes opened wideWhat if I told you the places I'd like to hide?Suddenly I was at a time to see the closing of the fairTwo men came charging out and I fell into the pairAnd I tossed and turned and looked aroundTo that I can attestThe door was open and I never should have leftOh, come back to me, I've stayed too long aloneAnd I found the key but I couldn't get back home.Have yourself a sweet dream, darling, and sleep the night awayBut the visions came to her in the middle of, the middle of the,The middle of, the middle of the day.Shudder girl, I'd look around the bottom of the nightAnd the door was open but I never looked insideA broken window, chiming bells of things I'd left behindAnd the door was open but I never looked insideSongtexteHave yourself a sweet dream, darling, sleep the night awayBut the visions came to her in the middle of, the middle of the,The middle of, the middle of the day.Shudder girl, I'd look around beneath enchanted skiesAnd the door was open but I never looked insideIn cold confusion pity spoke but logic I defiedAnd the door was open and I never looked insideOh, what a pretty picture it made with her sitting on the benchHer hands were tossed and turned and you hurt me now,I hurt you then,I told you once,I'll tell you now, I said.
