[Verse 1]
I came out to this town
To seek a new career
Or just another kind of whirlwind
Than one that brought me here
I stare up through the ceiling
Past the plaster and the paint
Considering the stars that shine
And flare and fall before they're spent

[Pre-Chorus]
How could you know?
My common senses had deserted me
On certain nights
When other gentlemen have courted me

[Chorus]
But in the light of morning
They would turn to see me go
I've had my moments
But all too few
You think you know me
Maybe you do

[Chorus]
But in the light of morning
You will turn to see me go
Nothing's lost and no one's won
It's over now and now it's done
I may be lying
This may be true
You think you know me
Maybe you do, maybe you do
Maybe you do
