Once in the Night Lyrics & Tabs by Duels
Once in the Night
guitar chords lyrics
He takes another drink of what
Who knows no time to think
He'll wake up here tomorrow
Always alone
The letter next to him begins
"I miss you, Evelyn"
Then nothing more is written
This is no TV show
This is real and he knows
And the shadows from the window
Are casting shapes just like a puppet show
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Decisions he has made
The failures of a new decade
Inform his every movement
He has visions of atonement
The television says
"Beware, we're in our final days"
And a Blonde Canary Game Show
Fills up the screen
Oh Lord, she must be sixteen
And the shadows from the window
Are casting shapes just like a puppet show
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
And believing he could
He painfully stood
Holding the frame
And launched his aging body
Into the rain
She couldn't take the facts
She just could not keep up the act
She goes about her business
She is never alone
And this is no TV show
And the shadows from the window
Still casting shapes just like a puppet show
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
Once in the night
