Goodnight, Irene

from Nights Like These by Fred Irwin

/

lyrics

I cruise to yours as the rain hits the visor
and the shit hits the fan and I lay silent beside you
We sit in tears for what feels like years
As I think about the days when you were mine

You wake screaming as I wake to tears streaming down your face
We slept so tight and squeezed tighter but now most nights I wanna fight you

And I miss the mornings I'd wake in another bed
Next to bottles and cans and a sink half-full of cigarrettes
The times that I'd forget I was chasing you

You call a doctor or your father cos when I'm there you won't let your guard down
You've got Brooklyn or Rickie to talk with when you're not with me

And I miss the nights that I'd sleep with a stranger
When the nights weren't just for fun but for the thrill and the danger
of getting caught and keeping it from you
