Short Nights

Short nights, short days
Life keeps slipping away
Short nights, short days
Running out of time to play
Rikki didn't lose my number
And Sweet Baby James is still around
Larry keeps singing old songs
Till the keys he found break down
Short nights, short days
Time keeps slipping away

Didn't we feel like dancing
Nobody cared at all
We used to make time for romancing
But now we keep on running, we keep on running

Short nights, short days
Life keeps slipping away
Short nights, short days
Running out of time to play
Just like Hank, always trying
To catch the truth in rhythm and rhyme
Ophelia didn't really leave us
Sticking in our brain all the time
Short nights, short days
Time keeps slipping away

Everybody seemed to be dancing
And they didn't care at all
Everybody felt like trancing
But now we keep on running, keep on running

Short nights, short days
Life keeps slipping away
Short nights, short days
Running out of time to play
Ruby didn't leave on Tuesday
And Sally didn't need to lay down
We're still in love with the Brown Eyed girl
Love the sound of Cathy's Clown
Short nights, short days
Time keeps slipping away
Time keeps slipping away
Time keeps slipping away
