Greg Brown - One More Goodnight Kiss Lyrics

The children are crying
The dead leaves are flying
The rain and the world news
Fall in the abyss
Nothin' we can do
`bout nothin'. Please will you,
Give me one more goodnight kiss

The new phone sounds like a turkey
Says hurry hurry hurry hurry
I'm gonna unplug that sucker
There's nothin' I'd hate to miss
Except for your weary face
Your half dreaming embrace
And one more goodnight kiss

The scariest thing I see
Is the death of Halloween
No treats for the children
Just all these grown up tricks
Well let's dress them up dandy
They can come to our door for candy
And one more goodnight kiss

Maybe it will rain all night
Maybe it will snow
Maybe we will dream it's alright
Maybe when we wake up
Maybe we could take up
Where we left off tonight
The big picture's insane
The whole country's on cocaine
And the idiots still ask
Why it's come to this
As they lean on their missiles
And polish their pistols
Aah give me one more goodnight kiss.
Um give me one more goodnight kiss.
