I Know He'll Be Gone In A Little While

He comes at midnight,

He promises the world and all that

But he can leave his shoes on

Cos I know he’ll be gone in a little while

He calls me ‘wild thing’

He builds me up with his sweet nothings

Says ‘write it in a love song’

But I know he’ll be gone in a little while

I thought things might be different

But Lord knows I’ve been through this one too many times

I know he’ll be gone in a little while

We drive by night

We put our world to rights then,

I don’t talk the last few miles,

Cos I know he’ll be gone in a little while

He says he’ll call me,

When he’s flying through my city,

But I let the promise die,

Cos I know he’ll be gone in a little while

I thought things might be different

But Lord knows I’ve been through this one too many times

I know he’ll be gone in a little while

He’ll be gone in a little while

He’ll be gone in a little while
