Late in the Night

There is a perfume of rain
holding out in the city
Somebody walks on the side,
they're looking worried and busy
I am someplace in the night,
just near the church and the square
You cannot find it by day,
it could be anywhere

I see her dancing away,
she moves like water in flow
And while it's all just the same,
but in that moment I know
I think I can make a move,
I think I maybe I'll wait
She looks at me on the side,
I just get carried away

She reminds me of that story
Where you never know what comes along
You don't know who wins or loses
It's not clear what's going on

Oh please don't leave me tonight
Oh please don't make it go
What is so more important
Than what we have,
or we might own

I take the road to the park,
there's men and women around
Can't get her out of my mind,
can't feel no light and no sound
And now it's late in the night,
I run the steps looking down
I hear sounds very far,
I walk alone in a crowd

She reminds me of that story
Where you never know what comes along
You don't know who wins or loses
It's not clear what's going on

Oh please don't leave me tonight
Oh please don't make it go
What is so more important
Than what we have, or we might own
