its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Speak about Greenly
Now that she's gone
Take my time when I go to bed
And I sleep, Lord
I'm getting over
Rolling over
I said can you just wait
To tell me in the morning?
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
I know that you would like
Like to change me
Make me softer
Tune your voice like a baby
I'm using caution
Bet you wanted
I wish you could wait
To tell me in the morning
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
I shouted questions
Like a fierce fire
You tried to take me by the arm
Into the light
I'm almost over
Rolling over
I said could you just wait
To tell me in the morning?
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
And I'll tell you one more thing
I confess to self deception
Pull the lock and pry it open
They're pretending to be stolen
I am my own thief in the night
Struck up for mnay years
Just to get here
Between the humility
And be my own teacher
I guess it backfired
'cause my motive
Was just to take and
Never kept that way I guess
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
I shouted questions
Like a fierce fire
You tried to take me into your arms and lead me to the light
I'm almost over
Rolling over
I said could you just wait
To tell me in the morning?
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
And I'll tell you one more thing
I confess to self deception
Pull the lock and pry it open
They're pretending to be stolen
And I am my own thief in the night
Now that she's gone
Take my time when I go to bed
And I sleep, Lord
I'm getting over
Rolling over
I said can you just wait
To tell me in the morning?
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
I know that you would like
Like to change me
Make me softer
Tune your voice like a baby
I'm using caution
Bet you wanted
I wish you could wait
To tell me in the morning
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
I shouted questions
Like a fierce fire
You tried to take me by the arm
Into the light
I'm almost over
Rolling over
I said could you just wait
To tell me in the morning?
Slow it down
Slow it down
Lay it low
Save it for the morning
And I'll tell you one more thing
I confess to self deception
Pull the lock and pry it open
They're pretending to be stolen
I am my own thief in the night
Struck up for mnay years
Just to get here
Between the humility

Pull the lock and pry it open
They're pretending to be stolen
And I am my own thief in the night

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Yeah these lyrics are wrong in many other places as well. I'll work on a meaning and maybe some better lyrics when i can figure them out.
