Trick Of The Light (Single Edit / Glyn Johns Mix)

[Verse 1]

Wide awake in the middle of the night

I wonder how she's feeling

Is it just a trick of the light

Or is her ceiling peeling?

She’s sitting up in bed, shaking her head

At a copy of "True Confessions"

Oh, it must seem like a fairy tale

To a woman of her profession

[Chorus]

But was I all right? (Was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

Was I all right? (Was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

[Post-Chorus]

Or was it just another trick of the light?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

But was I all right? (Was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

Was I all right? (Was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

[Post-Chorus]

Or was it just another trick of the light?

[Bridge]

Come on tell me, what's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

They don't make girls like you no more

And I’d like to get to know you on closer terms than this

But I guess you've heard it all before

[Verse 2]

Lady of the night

Won't you steal away with me?

Lady of the night

Won't you steal away with me?

The money's lying on the floor

She looks at me, shakes her head, and sighs

Out of time, out the door

Red light shining in my eyes

[Chorus]

But was I all right? (Was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

Was I all right? (Was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face?

[Outro]

All right?

But was I all right?

All right?

But was I all right?

All right?
