Lyrics
Half Past Ten
©Bill Long 2013 BMI 016022354
I came in about half past ten
Took one look, went out again.
I went out, then I came back in
In or out, out or in
I can't tell where I've been.
Once a night, once a day
Half past ten comes my way.
I took a trip, got half way there
Started again with half the fare.
Neither right nor left, got me half way there.
Chorus
Sun will set, moon will rise
Neither knows how time flies
As half past ten slides on bye.
Chorus
Half past ten comes around twice
Don't need a watch, just dark or light
So you know when time is right.
Chorus
Out or in, in or out
I can't tell what I'm about
Once a day, once a night
Half past ten gets it right.
