Closing Time - Rosanne Cash

I was a fool to say it was over

I was concerned with my pride

The words are crazy and fall out of place

From this heartache I can’t hide

I hear your name in slow conversation

I see your face in the crowd

My heart desires so many things

That my pride just can’t allow

I’d close down this heart tonight

Leave without a fight

Say goodbye to your sweet memory

If I can lie in your arms tonight

If I can lie in your arms tonight

Was I the fool to think you would see me

When all I wanted was you

Then I saw your eyes go through those changes

And wondered how you knew

I hear your name in slow conversation

I close my eyes and knew

I’d never find a way to deceive you

I just can’t let you go

I’d close down this heart tonight

Leave without a fight

Say goodbye to your sweet memory

If I can lie in your arms tonight

If I can lie in your arms tonight

I was a fool to say it was over
