Hey Lucinda

[Verse 1: Stuart Staples] Hey Lucinda, won't you come out drinking with me tonight? The summer's almost gone Hey Lucinda, time's running out Hey Lucinda, our time is running out [Bridge: Stuart Staples & Lhasa de Sela] I'm getting tired of those guys, tonight I'm gonna stay home I'm tired of hanging out, maybe I'll just stay home tonight When will you learn, Lucinda, that feeling is a creeping one [Verse 2: Stuart Staples] So, hey Lucinda, won't you come out drinking with me tonight? The summer's almost gone And soon the path that leads to your house will be treacherous with the frost And I may get lost in these cold and lonely nights [Bridge: Lhasa de Sela] I could drink all this body could hold But for the fear I might fall over and break these brittle bones And these dirty little cigarettes we smoke And the liquor it just only throws a cloak over the feelings we should show [Refrain: Stuart Staples & Lhasa de Sela] But, hey Lucinda I may be waiting for you Time's running out But hey Lucinda I may be waiting for you Our time is running out [Interlude: Stuart Staples] Hey Lucinda, won't you come out drinking with me tonight? Yeah, we could find some dancing [Verse 3: Stuart Staples & Lhasa de Sela] I only dance to remember how dancing used to feel And I wake up every morning to find you waiting for me Time's a wasting Lucinda, those college guys They'll be changing all the records, sitting in our favourite spot But they drink to the future, not to forget the past [Outro: Stuart Staples & Lhasa de Sela, Both] But, hey Lucinda I may be waiting for you Time's running out I may be waiting for you But, hey Lucinda Our time is running out
