At the close of every day   there's a woman passing.   Lover did you hear her say   her one last word?   "We're all doing time"   Something's closing   Haven't you heard?   The woman that we've tried to stop   now sits alone just waiting till forever,   forever makes me cry and I don't know   why all you people, put that into my head   I can't see why this conversation   is looking kind of dead.      At the close of every day   There's a woman passing.   Lover, did you hear her say   her one last word?   I'm often doing time   and I don't know just   why you reckon it would be   this day and      Don't you see   that my heart's on fire?   your wicked wings that you   spread around me sometimes.   All I know is we've got to aim higher   Babe, I wish that we'd go   for the great escape.      So you do praise a different light   and I am blinded by it, so sorry   that I made you cry   your faith in me it had to die   I guess that, that it's too late,   the lights are out,   the party's over, baby   and now I wish I'd told you      Don't you see   that my heart's on fire?   Your wicked wings that you   spread around me sometimes   All I know is we've got to aim higher   Babe, I wish that we'd go   for the great escape.      Don't you see   that my heart's on fire?   Your wicked wings that you   spread around me sometimes.   All I know is we've got to aim higher   Babe, I wish that we'd go   for the great escape.      In your shade I'll shape my life   Then I know it's alright   And I'll take one last look at you   Then I know it's alright.
