The Lovin' Spoonful - Six O'Clock Lyrics
There's something special about six o'clockIn the morning when it's still too early to knock.And the dusty light shines down on the blockAnd reflects up and down on the hands of the clock.Six o'clock, six o'clock.A few hours ago she was standing hereJust watching the stars in our eyesand the lights as uptights disappear.And I could feel I could say what I wantThat I could nudge her and call her my confidanteAnd now I'm back alone with just my shadow in front.Six o'clock, six o'clock.I went home and found that trying to sleep was a laughJust watching my eyelids knowing my brain bids the night not to pass.I got up and got to scuffling aroundBut somehow it just wasn't the same happy townAnd the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound.Six o'clock, six o'clock.If I go back where we partedCould I ever be like that again?Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrowBut what can I do 'til then?Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawnGuess I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all.And I wish my head had been working rightWe'd have gone for coffee and talked all night.But now I'm back alone feelin'twisted up tight.Six o'clock, six o'clock.Now I'm back alone...Yes, now I'm back alone...I'm back alone
