The Village in the Morning

Outside the rain is coming down
 Inside it's warm and dry
 You'll never find a cab uptown
 So why not stay the night?
 Why don't you call in sick tomorrow?
 Let's sleep the day away
 I've got pajamas you can borrow
 Let's take a holiday
 You can't leave the village in the the morning
 When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified]
 You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river
 And you can't find the breath to whisper
 Goodbye, whisper, goodbye
 Why don't you stay until the weekend?
 It should clear up by then
 As your resolve begins to weaken
 We'll become such good friends
 And you could stay until the summer
 And we can sleep through spring
 And I can telephone my drummer
 And have her get your things
 You can't leave the village in the the morning
 When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified]
 You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river
 And you can't find the breath to whisper
 Goodbye, whisper, goodbye
 Why don't you stay until we're old
 And fall in love with life?
 Why don't you stay until we're ghosts
 We'll only seem to die
 You can't leave the village in the the morning
 When the radio writes poetry for Avenue [unverified]
 You get tangled in the wheels of old Queen river
 And you can't find the breath to whisper
 Goodbye, whisper, goodbye
