A Little While Later

A little while later, we drifted off to sleep,
Still puzzled by our conversation.
Been a long time talking – I was getting in too deep,
Or, just too far above my station.
You tried to tell me a fairy tale or two
In twisted words beyond my reason.
Your coach is waiting, there’s nothing I can do,
And I think it’s time you were leaving.
It’s not that you give me the only thing I need,
Nor yet the only love I’ve tasted.
But I’d mistaken the plans you had for me
And it’s a shame to see them wasted.
Oooh – and I ain’t got a hand to guide me
Oooh – and I ain’t got a friend beside me
Oooh – and I do need a place to hide me from all of the troubles that bother my head.
For some time lately, I’ve been noticing a change
In the way you feel about me.
It doesn’t bother me greatly, it isn’t very strange.
I knew you’d learn to do without me.
You say you want me to give some time to you,
To set your thoughts a little straighter.
I do believe you, believe me yes I do.
But I would like to see you later.
Oooh – and I ain’t got a hand to guide me
Oooh – and I ain’t got a friend beside me
Oooh – and I ain’t got a friend to hide me from all of the troubles that bother my head.
A little while later, we drifted off to sleep,
Still puzzled by our conversation.
Been a long time talking – I was getting in too deep.
Maybe just too far above my station.
Oooh – and I ain’t got a hand to guide me
Oooh – and I ain’t got a friend beside me
Oooh – and I ain’t got a place to hide me
Oooh – and I ain’t got a hand to guide me
