[Verse 1: Britta Phillips]
It's cold without the summer sun
And the colered leaves are almost gone
It doesn't seem it's been too long
For me to turn and go back home
[Refrain 1: Britta Phillips, Dean Wareham]
(Once again) It's all been said and taken back before
(Once again) Don't forget to slam the door
[Verse 2: Britta Phillips]
I can't keep my eyes open
Unless I look at the moon
'Cause this sparrow at night don't mean it's mornin'
And it'll all be over much too soon
[Refrain 2: Britta Phillips, Dean Wareham]
(Like a dream) You didn't dream it in a dream
(Like a dream) There was a place, there was a name
[Verse 3: Britta Phillips]
From Dallas to Austin to Huston
No one noticed what we were doin'
But I fell in love without fall, we had fallen
Do you remember or have you forgotten?
[Refrain 3: Britta Phillips, Dean Wareham]
(Once again) I remember sleeping through a dream
(Once again) But I'll be goin' back again
[Verse 4: Britta Phillips]
I will keep my eyes open
When you turn out the lights
'Cause this sparrow at night don't mean it's mornin'
And tomorrow everything will be alright
[Outro: Dean & Britta]
Say goodnight
Say goodnight
It's cold without the summer sun
And the colered leaves are almost gone
It doesn't seem it's been too long
For me to turn and go back home
[Refrain 1: Britta Phillips, Dean Wareham]
(Once again) It's all been said and taken back before
(Once again) Don't forget to slam the door
[Verse 2: Britta Phillips]
I can't keep my eyes open
Unless I look at the moon
'Cause this sparrow at night don't mean it's mornin'
And it'll all be over much too soon
[Refrain 2: Britta Phillips, Dean Wareham]
(Like a dream) You didn't dream it in a dream
(Like a dream) There was a place, there was a name
[Verse 3: Britta Phillips]
From Dallas to Austin to Huston
No one noticed what we were doin'
But I fell in love without fall, we had fallen
Do you remember or have you forgotten?
[Refrain 3: Britta Phillips, Dean Wareham]
(Once again) I remember sleeping through a dream
(Once again) But I'll be goin' back again
[Verse 4: Britta Phillips]
I will keep my eyes open
When you turn out the lights
'Cause this sparrow at night don't mean it's mornin'
And tomorrow everything will be alright
[Outro: Dean & Britta]
Say goodnight
Say goodnight
