Lyrics
She just had to get the midnight train
and go off and leave me while the night got young
There's no way I could've left that place alone
Girls all around, drinking with their tops down
satin jockeys with their moussed hair everywhere
I guess I should have seen her home
But I cant make, no I can't make love out of the blues
I just had to let myself go wild
and get closer to nature than she would allow
arm in arm we found the door
Legs in a jigsaw, smokes in the top drawer
what do you mean you love me
I guess I should have let her know
that I can't make, no I cant make love out of the blues
She keeps talking about forever
but that's just a word that makes her cry
We just had to have a talk on the phone
I'd tell her I didn't mean to let her go off alone
then my phone jumped right on cue
She said thanks for the warm nights it's really been a fun ride
But you don't love me like I love you, so we both knew
that I cant make, no I cant make love out of the blues
