As the night wears on, it gets so black As the night wears on, it gets so black There was a time you shined like chrome What turned you into such a hack? Won't you tell me why It looks so appealing It looks so disguised Won't you tell me why It loses its charm when it's Out in the light Shiny new car on the showroom floor Shiny new car on the showroom floor There was a time you ran so hard What turned you into such a bore Won't you tell me why It looks so appealing It looks so disguised Won't you tell me why It loses its charm when it's Out in the light My love is an anchor, my heart is a stone My love is an anchor, my heart is a stone Should ever you wander far and wide Hope you have the good sense to find your way home
