Hurried Nights Lyrics - Kara Johnstad

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
