"Put a gun in the mouth of the day..." A little violent but one of the favorite lines I've written.
lyrics
Come Over Me
I have seen the sunset like this before
Making off with the day like a thief through the door
If my companion lay near me on such a night
I’ll say, “Put a gun in the mouth of the day, baby,
Put out the light.”
Come on over here, come on over now
Just come over me
Lay your hands, say your vows over me
Give me what I want, let it pour over me
La la la la la la la la
Just come over me now.
I am crippled by doubt in this house that is not my home.
If I act, I act out of fear and fear alone.
“I’ve got a suggestion,” my companion says,
“Why, oh, why don’t you try
To act out of love instead…
And come over here…”
Come on over here, come on over now
Just come over me
Lay your hands, say your vows over me
Give me what I want, let it pour over me
La la la la la la la la
Just come over me now.
I have seen the sunset like this before
Making off with the day like a thief through the door
If my companion lay near me on such a night
I’ll say, “Put a gun in the mouth of the day, baby,
Put out the light.”
And come over here
Come on over here, come on over now
Come over me...
