(Z. Muth)
It’s the middle of the day but it’s already getting dark outside Every day about this time, this time of year, we lose a little bit of light And I just try to keep a light on inside
Come home at night to bad news and beer breath And the only light is the one coming from the tv set And I’m waiting to hear something that I ain’t heard yet

Chorus: Have you taken all you wanted from me now? Have you taken all you wanted and then some, somehow?
You don’t believe me, have I got cause to lie? Well the way I feel, soon it will be hard to hide And the secret I’ve been keeping it ain’t just mine
And babe, I have my regrets, many fools I have suffered And still suffer yet There are so many things beyond my control But this choice is mine to make and mine alone
You can call me selfish And I won’t deny But what gives you the right to decide how the other half live and die? Without ever stopping to ask why

Chorus: You have taken all you wanted from me now You have taken all you wanted and then some, somehow
It’s the middle of the day, but it’s already getting dark outside And every day about this time, this time of year, we lose a little bit of light
