When I was seventeen
there was a world to know about
Everyday she'd call me
Is it over yet? Do you love me?

Overnite - and while your trouble's away
Under the stars up above, I'll build you another day
Close your eyes, I'll be home before it's light
And all the tears you cry will dry in the dead of night

And now I'm in between
It all became a mystery
Everyday she calls me
It is over yet? Do you believe them?

Someday, maybe soon, we could show them a way
I would love just to watch it falling
Oh my pretty one, show me a way

Overnite - I heard a satellite say
There'll be a wind from the west to blow all your dreams away
Close your eyes, and maybe before it's light
Oh all the hopes that you have will die in the dead of night
