1
Winter city by the ocean
Building lights glimmer on the bay
Oh, how you woke him from his slumber
Gently now, gently with a kiss
And we went drifting over to the corner
Our eyes move with us, graceful in the shadows
We think of the mystery
And we think of the warning
And the redwood hallways covered up in darkness
The wind outside singing with the promise
I will touch the back of your hand
And whisper the words
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
Now take this mirror and push it forward
She said to the painting on the wall
I'll show you something your frame is nothing but
A safe place, place for you to hide
And now the carpenter's son says,
"Let's make a deal
I believe in commerce
And I will make you this promise,
But if you should ask
For what I cannot give
You better tell me now
Before we begin"
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
Yes, I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you, love you, love you, love you
Building lights glimmer on the bay
Oh, how you woke him from his slumber
Gently now, gently with a kiss
And we went drifting over to the corner
Our eyes move with us, graceful in the shadows
We think of the mystery
And we think of the warning
And the redwood hallways covered up in darkness
The wind outside singing with the promise
I will touch the back of your hand
And whisper the words
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
Now take this mirror and push it forward
She said to the painting on the wall
I'll show you something your frame is nothing but
A safe place, place for you to hide
And now the carpenter's son says,
"Let's make a deal
I believe in commerce
And I will make you this promise,
But if you should ask
For what I cannot give
You better tell me now
Before we begin"
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
Yes, I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you in the morning if you love me tonight
I will love you, love you, love you, love you

This is one of my favorite Sea Wolf songs.
Clearly a boy and a girl make a deal that if she'll love him just for tonight, he'll love her forever. If she shows him what love is, he'll give it to her.
