Hurried Nights   Music and Lyrics Kara Johnstad©      The evening started out just fine   Italien pasta then some wine   And you said, “our friendships sacred, I just don't dare”      You see I have a wife and son   I love them more then anyone   And I said “ I know, yet for years it hangs in the air”      Refrain   Hurried Nights   As we finish our meal   Hurried Nights   Trying to sense what is real   Mmmmmmmmmmm   Mmmmmmmmmmm      Verse:   We try to small talk tongue gets tied   We try to switch from heart to mind   Yet the pull's too strong it tugs and pulls at the air      You tell me things about your day   I vaquely listen, watch your ways   Then you shift, “Are you thru?   I just can't stand this chair.”      Refrain   Hurried Nights   As we're pulled through the dark   Hurried Nights   Chavela Vargas she sparks you    And slowly you und my blouse   Forgetting to think of your spouse      Interlude:   Wondering if you'll think of me   Wondering if you care   Wondering if our friendship    Will end up in mid-air                  Refrain:   Hurried nights   As you walk out the door   Hurried Nights   Leaving me on the floor   You with your wife in your head   I get up slowly for bed      Interlude   Wondering why you left so soon   Wondering if you'll get home   Wondering if I'll sleep tonight alone   Or if you'll phone      Wondering if you'll tell her   Wondering what she'll say   Wondering why I wish so much   That you would have stayed
