This is an older tune. We were living in the Valley. I am not sure whether I was working or still in school. I am known as Mr. Memory which should give you some indication of my memoric reliability.
Sometimes life seems to take all you have. You get the feeling that you are just getting by. And not just for a while - this can go on for months or years. As you can glean from the song I like to retreat in music and she likes to retreat to sleep. I don't mind her retreat. I hope she finds comfort there.
The picture of life in the song presents a simple couple. We are still much the same way. We do the best we can. Yet, still, we often feel that life takes everything we have. We are sometimes left seeking shelter. We still have our retreats. |
When I get home
Sometimes I feel so tired.
My wife feels the same
She's been working all day.
It's after dinner then
That we smile.
Let the dishes go
For another day.
Refrain:
Tonight, tonight
Are you gonna love me?
Tonight, tonight
Will you set me free?
She goes to sleep
On the couch 'neath the covers.
She's free when she's sleeping
She's free when she's loving me.
We like the quiet
Of our apartment.
Sometimes it's a bit lonely.
Very few of the friends
That we know,
Will brave a trip
Down into the valley. (Refrain)
Sometimes we brave it
Out in the public.
Dinner, or a movie.
We like the kind
You can drive your car in.
Bring our own food and
Have privacy. (Refrain)
