about

Gilly shares with the audience how he deals with loneliness and the search for company.

lyrics

Steppin’ off the boxcar at the edge of town

Face dirty and my coveralls a muddy brown

Headin’ to the barber college for a shave and a shine

Lookin’ fine

Dressin’ up in my cleaner workin’ clothes

Skip the brothel ‘cuz a gentle heart always knows

There’s a lover out there waitin’

For a little time

Tonight’s enough if you just start livin’

Put your worries away

Let your senses play

Tonight’s enough for a prince or a beggar

In the quickenin’ dark

Hold your breath

See a spark

Tonight’s enough to be loved by another love

I see you starin’ , bear a grin,

Then you look away

I tell a joke, have a smoke, listen as you say:

Never seen a stranger take an interest

In this little plain jane

Wild as rain

We’re holdin’ hands – ain’t it grand, whisper in your ear

You turn to kiss, and it’s bliss

Crickets stop and cheer

Risin’ up, you lead me onward

To a quiet room

Tonight’s enough if you just start livin’

Put your worries away

Let your senses play

Tonight’s enough for a prince or a beggar

In the quickenin’ dark

Hold your breath

See a spark

Tonight’s enough to be loved by another love

Only together for an evenin’

Sunrise and I’ll soon be on my way

Still, we’re delightin’ in the evenin’

In the shadows, face to find, we’ll find

We are beautiful

See a sliver of the sun through the windowpane

I smell your hair and prepare,

Listen for a train

Gettin’ dressed, I watch you sleepin’

Shut the door behind

Feel my heart unwind

Tell myself this is livin’ while I’m gettin’ by

In another’s day’s time, she won’t even cry

After all – she could do much better

Than a ‘bo like me

Tonight’s enough if you just start livin’

Put your worries away

Let your senses play

Tonight’s enough for a prince or a beggar

In the quickenin’ dark

Hold your breath

See a spark

Tonight’s enough to be loved by another love
