Kara Johnstad Hurried Nights Lyrics

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
