The lovin spoonful six o'clock lyrics

There's something special about six o'clock 

 In the morning when it's still too early to knock. 

 And the dusty light shines down on the block 

 And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock. 

 Six o'clock, six o'clock. 

  

 A few hours ago she was standing here 

 Just watching the stars in our eyes 

 and the lights as uptights disappear. 

 And I could feel I could say what I want 

 That I could nudge her and call her my confidant 

 And now I'm back alone with just my shadow in front. 

 Six o'clock, six o'clock. 

  

 I went home and found that trying to sleep was a laugh 

 Just watching my eyelids knowing my brain bids the night not to pass. 

 I got up and got to scuffling around 

 But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town 

 And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound. 

 Six o'clock, six o'clock. 

  

 If I go back where we parted 

 Could I ever be like that again? 

 Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow 

 But what can I do?  Tell me... 

  

 Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn 

 Guess I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all. 

 And I wish my head had been working right 

 We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night. 

 Now I'm back alone and I'm twisted uptight. 

 Six o'clock, six o'clock. 

  

 Now I'm back alone... 

 Yes, now I'm back alone... 

 I'm back alone
