Duels - Once In The Night lyrics

He takes another drink of what Who knows no time to think He'll wake up here tomorrow Always alone The letter next to him begins "I miss you, Evelyn" Then nothing more is written This is no TV show This is real and he knows And the shadows from the window Are casting shapes just like a puppet show Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Decisions he has made The failures of a new decade Inform his every movement He has visions of atonement The television says "Beware, we're in our final days" And a Blonde Canary Game Show Fills up the screen Oh Lord, she must be sixteen And the shadows from the window Are casting shapes just like a puppet show Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night And believing he could He painfully stood Holding the frame And launched his aging body Into the rain She couldn't take the facts She just could not keep up the act She goes about her business She is never alone And this is no TV show And the shadows from the window Still casting shapes just like a puppet show Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night Once in the night
