love in the afternoon

Marianne Faithfull

It's getting dark outside
Daytime is done.
The lights along the river come up
One by one.
Let's make love again
We got time.
I am yours
You are mine.

It's getting dark outside
I have to go.
Don't want my husband
Or my friends to know.
Zip up my dress ...
I can't find my shoes.
Don't fall in love with me
Too much to lose.

The kids are home by now
Have to think fast.
I really think this afternoon
Must be the last.
Don't say anything,
Don't turn on the light.
Thanks for loving me,
Call you tonight.
