well he came in to the bar
just as our set was ending
and he didnt get very far
before he tried to catch my eye
well Id seen that look before
so when the set was over
I tried to slip out the door
but he was no fool either
and he stood there in my way
saying things about the music
like I like the way that you play, honey,
you know I play a little bit too.
wont you let me come up to your room
and well sing and well talk a while
you know Ive never met a lady quite like you before

and anyhow, I dont sleep with strangers anymore.

tryin to act like thirty
but it was all that he could do
to cover up his surprise
he said, listen youve got me wrong
I only want conversation, maybe
play you some of my songs
get to know you a little more.
wont you let me come up to your room
and well sing and well talk a while
you know Ive never met a lady quite like you before
ah wont you let me come up to your room
I said, sorry but its kind of late
and anyhow, I dont sleep with strangers anymore.

with dust on the windowsill
and you think it might be worth it
for a moment while youre touching
oh but after you turn away
then you know it was all for nothing
well then he smiled like a man caught out
confessed that hed been hoping
he said nothing was gained without a try
and surely I had to agree
that ships passing in the night
could still bring each other comfort
I said, maybe,
