The Green Pajamas

Until The Daylight

I worry about your pale eyes
I worry about you're wanting 
I worry about the cracking walls 
Of this little house we're haunting
The way the snow keeps coming down 
The way the wind is hissing
I worry about the frozen skin 
On the lips that I've been kissing

	Part of you thinks it and part of you don't
	Sleeping with the devil ain't right
	Well, maybe you'll love me and maybe you won't
	You've got until the daylight  

Love, love beautiful love
Mother of pain and sorrow
I hate to tell you but your new true love
Will probably be gone tomorrow

	Part of you will and part of you won't
	Ride this drunken hayride
	Well, maybe you'll love me and maybe you won't
	You've got until the daylight

It blows, it blows so hard and cold 
That cat's claw breaks my skin
And all the loving in our short lives 
Is gone with the fucking wind 
And may God forgive my bitter heart
And forgive you for your sin
You who swear there ain't no other when
I can smell him on your skin

	It's a one-way journey down that one-lane road
	and it's a cold and lonesome sleigh ride
	Well, maybe you'll love me and maybe you won't
	You've got until the daylight

	Part of you thinks it and part of you don't
	Sleeping with the devil ain't right
	Well, maybe you'll love me and maybe you won't
	You've got until the daylight
