Burn the midnight lamp
Down until the dawn,
I`ll keep watch until I`m sure you`re coming home.
Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall
They turn into a bad dream overnight,
Something could be terribly wrong.
Don`t be careless love,
Don`t be careless love,
Don`t be,don`t be careless.
In my dream you`re running nowhere
Every step you`ve taken turns to glue,
Walking down a spiral staircase
Falling through,falling through,
Don`t be careless love,
Be careless love.
The lamp burns down and out
I`m getting pretty tired of this,
I feel so bad something might be going amiss,
I won`t be there so look out for yourself
You`re getting in deep whatever you do,
Don`t let me go back to sleep,
Don`t be careless love,
Don`t be careless love,
Don`t be,don`t be careless.
Saw your face in the morning paper,
Saw your body rolled up in a rug
Chopped up into two little pieces
By some thug,
Don`t be careless love,
Be careless love.
But in the morning light
When I wake up again
You`re by my side and that`s the way it`s always been,
But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Your mind plays funny tricks on you,
Don`t be careless love.
