The Lovin' Spoonful - Six O'clock lyrics

There's something special about six o'clock In the morning when it's still too early to knock. And the dusty light shines down on the block And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock. Six o'clock, six o'clock. A few hours ago she was standing here Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as uptights disappear. And I could feel I could say what I want That I could nudge her and call her my confidante And now I'm back alone with just my shadow in front. Six o'clock, six o'clock. I went home and found that trying to sleep was a laugh Just watching my eyelids knowing my brain bids the night not to pa**. I got up and got to scuffling around But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound. Six o'clock, six o'clock. If I go back where we parted Could I ever be like that again? Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow But what can I do 'til then? Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn Guess I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all. And I wish my head had been working right We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night. But now I'm back alone feelin'twisted up tight. Six o'clock, six o'clock. Now I'm back alone... Yes, now I'm back alone... I'm back alone
