Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sat on a cliff wonderin' what did  I miss, I watched the waves come in
Roll in, roll out without  a single doubt
Lone on the bluff, is there ever enough? I stare into the air
Somewhere out there, the family affair
Bring home the night
[Verse 2]
There I know that you turn off the light
There so slow but you gave me the love of my life
[Verse 3]
She gave me the love
[Verse 4]
Comin' up short and I'm sad to report, with us invite tonight
Your kiss, my kiss, another day to waste
Lovers don't miss when they can't even face a plot that has a twist
To share my prayer, I need my baby bed
Come home tonight
[Verse 5]
There I know that you turn off the light
There so slow but you gave me the love of my life
There I know that you turn off the light
There so slow but you gave me the love of my life
[Verse 6]
There I know that you turn off the light
There so slow but you gave me the love of my life
There I know that I waited so long
There so slow but you gave me the love of my life
[Verse 7]
Oh, she gave me the love of my life
Tell 'em Flea, go ahead
