Oh, it gets so eerie, mama,
ridin' on the midnight line
Sometimes I feel the sea so much,
I sense I'm losin' sight
Liza, take me slowly from the
darkness to the morning
Cause I wish those times I'd been born
Deaf, dumb and blind
Oh,
Liza, bring your candlelight
Something that I'm lacking,
I just ain't seeing right
Lovers they make promises,
lovers they tell lies
Don't you know that I need a
friend over the night time
An d so
Liza,
Liza light the candles
Won't you stay with me
tonight?
Some days I'm a sunny boy and
I'm singin' like a lark
Other days I'm driven to the darkness,
just can't seem to find my spark
Almost feels like nothin',
like I'm frozen
Lord, I'm lonesome,
I could blame it on the blues
But I guess I lost my heart
Oh,
Liza, bring your candlelight
Something that I'm lacking,
I just ain't seeing right
Lovers they make promises,
lovers they tell lies
Don't you know that I need a friend
till that night time ends
So lies, sweet lies, light the candle
Won't you stay with me tonight?
Airplane close,
the cold wind blows
Empty hotel beds,
blue stick climbing like
a shadow
What am
I, some kind of friend to them?
Almost feel like sailing to
an island to a stranger
Oh, it gets so dark sometimes
When you just can't see ahead
Oh,
Liza, bring your candlelight
Something that I'm lacking
I just ain't seein' right
Lovers, they make promises
Lovers, they tell lies
Don't you know that I need a friend
Till the nighttime ends
Eliza,
Eliza, light your candle
Won't you stay with me tonight?
Oh,
Liza, bring your candle light
Something that I'm lacking,
I just ain't seeing right
Lovers, they make promises,
lovers, tell lies
Well, I need a friend till the
night time ends,
Eliza,
Eliza, light your candle,
won't you stay with me tonight?
you
