It's something you say at your peril
It's something you shouldn't contain
It's a truth for the dark and a pillow
Turn out the light and I'll explain
It's the obvious truth of the morning
Beating? back as the sun turns to rain
To the rain, to the dark, to the pillow,
Turn out the light and I'll explain
It's what I was hoping to tell you
It's what I was hoping you'd guess
It's what I was hoping you wouldn't guess or you wouldn't mind
It's a kind of helplessness
It's the hope that you hold at your peril
It's the hope that you feel to attain
It's the obvious truth of the evening
Turn out the light and I'll explain

It's what I was hoping to tell you
It's what I was hoping you'd guess
Or it's what I was hoping you wouldn't guess or you wouldn't mind
It's a kind of hopelessness
It's a hope that you hold at your peril
It's the hope that you feel to attain
It's the obvious truth of the evening
Turn out the light and I'll explain
I'll explain
I'll explain
I'll explain
I'll explain
I'll explain
