A pen and paper beckon

I still have your address

Its written in my diary

Top of the list,

The day that you were leavin'

I promised that I'd write

but it wont be tonight



Just how to keep a secret

I don't know very well

Rules are made for breaking

Secrets to tell

I'll try to never lose it

Someday I probably might

but it wont be tonight



Tonight my heads in trouble

And it really don't feel right

The promise I will keep it

But not tonight.



I met her down in Taylor's

at a session in the back

You know how it happens,

I followed old tracks

And if I could put my

thoughts on paper

it would'nt feel just right

And it won't be tonight.
