Special Night Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Riding in the early evening I'd say 

I know of a certain tree 

I always asked if you wanted to go 

You'd just sit there silently 

Now you say, "Come on, let's go" 

You know where you want to be 

As I watch you tan in the waters so brown 

Desire gets the best of modesty 

Walk me down the side of the water 

Lay your weary head on me 

Lay your clothes up on the table 

Wrap your worries 'round the red cedar tree 

It's a special night 

Looks like a special night 

There'll be some changes 

Made on the water tonight 

Go in a boy and come out a man 

Looking out at the water 

You say, "What do you think?" 

Indecision in my face and arms 

You say, "You either swim or you sink" 

Sliding off, sliding on down 

Wetness in the evening mist 

No ride in the countryside 

Ever compared to this 

Walk me down the side of the water 

Lay your weary head on me 

Lay your clothes up on the table 

Wrap your worries round the red cedar tree 

It's a special night 

Looks like a special night 

There'll be some changes 

Made on the water tonight 

Go in a boy and come out a man
