Hey Lucinda

Hey Lucinda, won’t you come out drinking with me tonight?

The summer’s almost gone

Hey Lucinda, time’s running out

Hey Lucinda, our time is running out

I’m getting tired of those guys, tonight I’m gonna stay home

I’m tired of hanging out, maybe I’ll just stay home tonight

When will you learn, Lucinda, that feeling is a creeping one

So, hey Lucinda, won’t you come out drinking with me tonight?

The summer’s almost gone

And soon the path that leads to your house will be treacherous with the frost

And I may get lost in these cold and lonely nights

I could drink all this body could hold

But for the fear I might fall over and break these brittle bones

And these dirty little cigarettes we smoke

And the liquor it just only throws a cloak over the feelings we should show

But, hey Lucinda

I may be waiting for you

Time’s running out

But hey Lucinda

I may be waiting for you

Our time is running out

Hey Lucinda, won’t you come out drinking with me tonight?

Yeah, we could find some dancing

I only dance to remember how dancing used to feel

And I wake up every morning to find you waiting for me

Time’s a wasting Lucinda, those college guys

They’ll be changing all the records, sitting in our favourite spot

But they drink to the future, not to forget the past

But, hey Lucinda

I may be waiting for you

Time’s running out

I may be waiting for you

But, hey Lucinda

Our time is running out
