about

A married couple. She doesn't know what he's does at nights. He doesn't want her to know.

lyrics

One o'clock in the morning and she's sitting on her own. She pulls the feather sheets around her and listens for the turning key.
Two o'clock in the morning and she wipes away the tears that washed the hope and love she knew when daddy gave his little girl away.
He walks securely through the pale rooms - discos and basement bars.
Ah-ah! He mustn't go too far. She never realises how things really are.
Four o'clock in the morning and she's really quite serene. She scans the photos that he picked up from some glossy Sunday magazine.
Five o'clock in the morning as she sits by a dying fire. She warms her body with a silent sigh and fortifies another day.
He pours a glass for his compadré he will touch and love no more.
Oh-oh! He lets his makeup grow. Exactly what he feels now she will never know.
Nine o'clock in the morning and she's waiting. Already waiting.....
