Baby Can I See You Tonight? - Colin Hay

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
