Six O'Clock-Lovin' Spoonful

There's something special 'bout 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 the tides Disappeared 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 tryin' to sleep was a laugh Just watching my eyelids knowing my brain bids the night not To pass I got up and got scufflin' 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 feel 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 Yes 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 bein' twisted up tight Six o'clock six o'clock Now I'm back alone Yes now I'm back alone I'm back alone I'm back alone I'm back alone
