'long Flowing Robe' Lyrics - Rundgren Todd

Cruising makes some people get uptight 

But nothing beats a lonely Friday night 

Friday night, nothing much to do but hang around 

Think I might just grab myself a cab and head downtown 

And for hours, I hang around the dance hall crowd 

I feel like a boor 

But then I turned around and cast my eyes to the door 

In a long flowing robe 

She appeared at the ballroom door 

I was hard-pressed to know 

What I hoped she was looking for 

Coming on at first may not seem right 

But nothing beats a lover at first sight 

What a sight, nothing can compare with simple grace 

It's all right, I see it in the look upon her face 

That she wants me the same way that I'm wanting her 

In fact maybe more 

But as I take her hand 

She turns and heads for the door 

In a long flowing robe 

She took off through the ballroom door 

I was hard-pressed to know 

What did she go and do that for 

Friday night, nothing left to do but go to bed 

Sleeping tight, when something stirring deep inside my head 

Said "Wake up and cast your eyes to the door." 

In a long flowing robe 

She appeared at the bedroom door 

I was hard-pressed to know 

What I knew she was looking for
