This Time of Night Songtext
von Ralph McTell

Thank you for the party and I thank you for the wine
I think I better get along now, I know it′s time
And maybe you were wrong and maybe, maybe you were right
But I won't talk about it now, this time of night


About what happened, well, what can I say?
′Cept it was bound to happen sometime anyway
And you want me to say I'm sorry
Well, alright, alright,
But I won't ask forgiveness from you now this time of night

See, my friend, I been laying it down on the line
About what happened, well I don′t blame the wine
And if I stick around much longer you′d be asking me to fight
And that would not solve anything this time of night

Oh, my friend, I don't expect you to see me to the door
And I don′t suppose you'll see me Coming round here much anymore
And do not feel, oh do not feel you have to say good-night
It′s much too late for words like that right now, this time of night
