The Way She Takes The Lonely From The Evening Lyrics

Well I can't stop the flutter of her eyelash

As it drifts into a psychedelic trance

The way she takes the lonely from the evening

Or the way she makes me want to take a chance

The tired eyes that strangled all my feelings

Are sore from looking backwards through the rain

The puddles stick like icebergs to my ankles

And they drive the aging poet boy insane

Well to love her is to crave an absent feeling

And to know her is to know how heaven feels

A portion of her magic strains my igloo

When I try to melt away what it conceals

The tight necked torrid tense and trembling hours

Burn a scar upon the left side of my heart

The way she takes the lonely from the evening

And the stains upon the walls they set apart

I'll never find a way to kill her spirit

It runs thick through every nightmare that I seek

The way she takes the lonely from the evening

And the way she tempts a tender thought to leak

Well I can't stop the flutter of her eyelash

As it drifts into a psychedelic trance

The way she takes the lonely from the evening

Or the way she makes me want to take a chance
