Written by Rudy Dewclaw and Fiona Fennec

lyrics

Rudy:
Here I am, out your window
Here you are, arms akimbo
And I see the bags under your eyes
But instead I see the sweet delight

I damn well know it’s 12:35
But outside the night’s alive with life
And I don’t have to worry ‘bout surprise
Kev & Mom left me in charge tonight

I sing and play with my open arms
By this time you know I mean you no harm
So, Fiona, won’t you accept my hand
And traverse the early morning frownland?

Fiona:
No, thanks, you’re well aware it’s late
I see you’re just pleading for a date
Why won’t you call me on the telephone?
Why don’t you get your feet on the road?

Besides, if I wanted to accept your plea
Mom and Dad would worry sick of me
As you see, I’m stuck here for the night
Gee, you must have a terrible sense of time

And I respond with a resounding “no”
So pack up that resonator-Dobro and go
Please, Rudy, now’s not the time to see you
But don’t that as me saying we’re through.

Rudy: Won’t you let me have a smoke?
Fiona: Sure, they’ll never know.
Rudy: Care to join outside?
Fiona: Rudy, now’s not the proper time.
Rudy: Now what will convince you?
Fiona: If only you’d stay true
Rather than feelin’ blue
Not letting the bad news get to you!

Rudy: Well, looks like I screwed that up
Went about it wrong with all that stuff
I’m a little hasty, I shoulda nipped it in the bud
Shoulda went down here when the sun came up

Fiona: I guess I could join for a cigarette
I mean, after all, I’ve been so doggone stressed
Let’s leave it at that and reconvene

Rudy: I’d wish you watch the sunrise with me.

Rudy: I sing and with you I feel alive…
Fiona: I sing and with you I feel alive…

Rudy: I’ll catch you later when we finish this thing
Fiona: yeah, over at Bruno’s, down on Main

Rudy: Good night.
Fiona: Good night…
