When the evening's sunlight fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers
Softly close the door.
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows slide.
I need your blind full secrets
Cutting fast and loose
The lacy intrigue of this weekend
Should not be abused

You could take me where you want
Could you take me all the time?

Away yeah...wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark.

Tender is the truce I'm tasting
Watching you dictate
Heady nights of sleepless wasting
A face I can't escape.
We could wave the world goodbye
To all of the boys cheerio

Away yeah...wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Away yeah...wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark.

Help me now I'm slipping deeper
Tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer
Each time you turn away.
Something inside you cries
But is it something I'll never find?

Away yeah...wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Away yeah...wait a little longer
Before we go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like to think you were
Keeping me in the dark
