Our Affair

OUR AFFAIR WRITER CARLY SIMON What a perfect night Secrets lights up the sky Like fireflies do There's nothing but a silky hope That old opiate Between me and you Don't look now We're just about there We're just one little breath away From our affair From our affair Don't move too fast Don't run scared We're just one surrender away From our affair Don't you feel like You're coming down with something Some great fancy flu Don't you feel like you're Coming down with me And it doesn't get sicker than you Don't you feel like this is the really good part Where it's still up in the air The perfect romance is never Stated or sated, deflated or fair Don't admit it yet And don't stop saying your prayers We're just one little heartbeat away From our affair From our affair There's a light in my window And a little red ladybug in my hair Just one turn down an empty street Away,away, away From our affair From our affair There's a white-hot desire Of which I am pleasantly aware Just one more "wait a minute baby" Away, away, away, away From our affair From our affair From our affair
