There's something special about six o'clock
In the morning when it's still
Too early to knock
And the dusty light shines down on the block
And reflects up and down
On the hands of the clock
Six o'clock, six o'clock.
A few hours ago she was standing here
Just watching the stars in our eyes
And the lights as uptights disappear
And I could feel I could say what I want
That I could nudge her
And call her my confidant
And now I'm back alone
With just my shadow in front
Six o'clock, six o'clock.
I went home and found that trying
To sleep was a laugh
Just watching my eyelids knowing my brain
Bids the night not to pass
I got up and got to scuffling around
But somehow it just wasn't the same happy
town
And the bells didn't ring
With the same happy sound
Six o'clock, six o'clock.
If I go back where we parted
Could I ever be like that again?
Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow
But what can I do? tell me.
Guess I'll go back home
And just wait until dawn
Guess I had to learn going back
Where we were wouldn't help at all
And I wish my head had been working right
We'd have gone for coffee
And talked all night
Now I'm back alone and I'm twisted uptight
Six o'clock, six o'clock.
Now I'm back alone
Yes, now I'm back alone, I'm back alone<
