Love in the Night Lay Waiting

Late night walking
New to the city
Out on my own
More’s the pity
Crossing a bridge
Hadn’t seen before
She stared out at the water
A lady for sure

Love in the night lay waiting
Two hearts ready for the taking
Love in the night lay waiting
Two hearts ready for the taking

A word or two was
All it took
We read each other
Like a book
Conversation
Easily flowed
Like the deep dark
Water below

A nearby bell
Struck midnight
We stood close
Under the bridge light
I felt us leaving
The world behind
She said let’s get lost
Somewhere tonight
