Lyrics

Dinner at Eight

[Verse 1]

Put on my coat, shut the light

Make my way in the evening light

I'm all right

Dinner at eight, dinner at eight

[Verse 2]

A love, a home

A simple world of our own

Your voice on the phone

Dinner at eight, dinner at eight

The burdens of the day

Are all slipping away, away

[Bridge]

What mistakes did I make

To make you walk away?

Your face, my prayer

The grace I find there

Your hands, these hours

A day that’s ours

[Verse 4]

One husband, one wife

One dream of a life

One lost and lonely night

Dinner at eight, dinner at eight

[Verse 5]

A tie, crisp white shirt

To cover the scars and the hurt

I get outta bed, go to work

Have dinner at eight, dinner at eight

Dinner at eight, dinner at eight
