Baby Can I See You Tonight? Lyrics

I'm walking over yellow lawn
The day, it is still sleeping
Yellow sun brings the dawn
Mother earth is weeping
I kick off my sensible shoes
I clear away the table
I switch on the morning news
Economy's unstable

But it's all gonna be all right
Last time you said you might
Baby, can I see you tonight?

I look up in the cloudless sky
We're hardly even moving
This day's just creeping by
And it's not of my choosing

I wish I had a, a time machine
To move a little faster
I'd cut to the crucial scene
Between before and after
Everythin' gonna be all right
Last time you said you might
Baby, can I see you tonight?

Took a walk down by the wall
Down by the harbor
There's no wind blowing in my sail
Makes it even harder

You whispered, "Can I take it slow?"
I will if I am able
I can feel it head to toe
There's no name or label

And everythin' gonna be all right
Last time you said you might
Baby, can I see you tonight?
I don't know just where you are
But I can use my imagination
It's hard to say how deep I fell
It's more than fascination

I gave up on across and down
I lost my concentration
I feel like a, a fallen king
Before my abdication

But everythin' gonna be all right
Last time you said you might
Baby, can I see you tonight?

Can I see you tonight?
Can I see you tonight or before?
I got a pretty clear day
