Baby Can I See You Tonight Lyrics - American Sunshine - Colin Hay

I'm walking over yellow lawn 

The day, it is still sleeping 

Yellow sun brings the dawn 

Mother earth is weeping 

I kick off my sensible shoes 

I clear away the table 

I switch on the morning news 

Economy's unstable 

But it's all gonna be all right 

Last time you said you might 

Baby, can I see you tonight? 

I look up in the cloudless sky 

We're hardly even moving 

This day's just creeping by 

And it's not of my choosing 

I wish I had a, a time machine 

To move a little faster 

I'd cut to the crucial scene 

Between before and after 

Everythin' gonna be all right 

Last time you said you might 

Baby, can I see you tonight? 

Took a walk down by the wall 

Down by the harbor 

There's no wind blowing in my sail 

Makes it even harder 

You whispered, "Can I take it slow?" 

I will if I am able 

I can feel it head to toe 

There's no name or label 

And everythin' gonna be all right 

Last time you said you might 

Baby, can I see you tonight? 

I don't know just where you are 

But I can use my imagination 

It's hard to say how deep I fell 

It's more than fascination 

I gave up on across and down 

I lost my concentration 

I feel like a, a fallen king 

Before my abdication 

But everythin' gonna be all right 

Last time you said you might 

Baby, can I see you tonight? 

Can I see you tonight? 

Can I see you tonight or before? 

I got a pretty clear day
