Lovin' Spoonful - Six O'Clock Lyrics

There's something special
About six o'clock
In the morning when it's
Still too early to knock

And the dusty light
Shines down on the block
And reflects up and down
On the hands of the clock
Six o'clock, six o'clock

A few hours ago
She was standing here
Just watching the
Stars in our eyes
And the lights
As uptights disappear

And I could feel
I could say what I want
That I could nudge her
And call her my confidant
Log on to Top40db.

And now I'm back alone with
Just my shadow in front
At six o'clock, six o'clock

I went home and found that
Trying to sleep was a laugh
Just watching my eyelids
Knowing my brain bids
The night not to pass

I got up and got
To scuffling around
But somehow it just
Wasn't the same happy town
And the bells didn't ring
With the same happy sound
Six o'clock, six o'clock

If I go back where we parted
Could I ever be like that again
Guess I'll just have
To wait til tomorrow
But what can I do, tell me

Guess I'll go back home
And just wait until dawn
Guess I had to learn
Going back where we we're
Wouldn't help at all

And I wish my head
Had been working right
We'd have gone for coffee
And talked all night

Now I'm back alone
Getting twisted uptight
At six o'clock, six o'clock

Now, I'm back alone
Yes, now I'm back alone
I'm back alone
