Every Night About This Time Lyrics - Ely Joe

(Dave Alvin) 

Every night about this time 

She's waiting for a man 

It could be me or it could be you 

Who'll touch her with their hands 

Someone left her long ago 

She never found out why 

So she falls in love again 

Every night about this time 

Every night about this time 

She'll be holding someone tight 

Faces don't mean much 

When she turns out the lights 

Just tell her that you love her 

Even though she knows you're lying 

Then she'll lead you to her room 

Every night about this time 

Every night about this time 

She could be yours 

She could be mine 

Just hold her when she cries 

Every night about this time 

Every night about this time 

She'll pretend the best she can 

It could be me or it could be you 

Who'll remind her of a man 

Don't say nothing when you leave 

No need for long good-byes 

You're not the one she's missing 

Every night about this time 

Every night about this time 

She could be yours 

She could be mine 

Just hold her when she cries 

Every night about this time
