It was 2.00 am when I hit town again
And I jumped off the big freight trai-ain
As quite as a mouse, I went to Bonnie's house
And I tapped on her window pa-ane

She said come on in, you look soaked to the skin
Get out of the wind and rai-ain
She sat on her bed and she smiled as she said
It's good to have you back again

Turn out the light, make the most of the night
I'm only here till mornin'
Turn on the stove and the firelight glow
The wind and the rain are ca-a-allin'

Bonnie wept tears of joy for her long lost boy
Down on her bended knee-ee
I was tempted to stay, but the very next day
I knew it could never be-ee

So I got up slow, I said I really gotta go
Goin' back to the wind and rai-ain
But Bonnie sleep light, some cold grey night
You know I'm comin' back again

Turn out the light, make the most of the night
I'm only here till mornin'
Then I must go from the firelight glow
The wind and the rain are ca-a-allin'

Turn out the light, make the most of the night
I'm only here till mornin'
Then I must go from the firelight glow
The wind and the rain are ca-a-allin'

Turn out the light, make the most of the night
I'm only here till mornin'
Then I must go from the firelight glow
The wind and the rain are ca-a-allin'

Turn out the light, make the most of the night
I'm only here till mornin'
Then I must go from the firelight glow [fade]
