album: Bright lights and backalleys(1977) I: Open up your tired eyes And force yourself to smile Yesterday was yesterday It's gone, it's tomorrow now It's here, it's tomorrow now Now I must go But I'll see you again When? Oh when? Please don't ask me when I'll call, I'll write But I can not stay here tonight No, I can not stay here tonight I can't stay here tonight II: Light me up a cigarette And check that my bags are packed Something I was gonna say It's gone - till another time But how long till that other time I hate to go But I'll be back again When? Oh when? Please don't ask me when I'll call, I'll write But I can not stay here tonight No, I can not stay here tonight I can't stay here tonight III: Open up your tired eyes And force yourself to smile Yesterday was yesterday It's gone, it's tomorrow now It's here, it's tomorrow now Now I must go But I'll see you again When? Oh when? Please don't ask me when I'll call, I'll write But I can not stay here tonight No, I can not stay here tonight I can't stay here tonight
