Take it away, wanna hear you play
Till the lights go down.
Take it away, don't you wanna stay
Till there's no one else around?
Take it away, wanna hear you play

Take it away, don't you wanna stay
Till there's no one else around.
You never know who may be listening to you.
(you never know who may be listening to you)
You never know who may be listening to you.
Take it away,
Take it away.
After hours, late in the bar,
By a darkened corner seat.
Faded flowers waits in the jar
Till the evening is complete.
