One More Goodnight Kiss - Greg Brown

The children are crying

The dead leaves are flying

The rain and the world news

Fall in the abyss

Nothin' we can do

'bout nothin'.

Please will you

Give me one more goodnight kiss

The new phone sounds like a turkey

Says hurry hurry hurry hurry

I’m gonna unplug that sucker

There’s nothin' I’d hate to miss

Except for your weary face

Your half dreaming embrace

And one more goodnight kiss

The scariest thing I see

Is the death of Halloween

No treats for the children

Just all these grown up tricks

Well let’s dress them up dandy

They can come to our door for candy

And one more goodnight kiss

Maybe it will rain all night

Maybe it will snow

Maybe we will dream it’s alright

Maybe when we wake up

Maybe we could take up

Where we left off tonight

The big picture’s insane

The whole country’s on cocaine

And the idiots still ask

Why it’s come to this

As they lean on their missiles

And polish their pistols

Aah give me one more goodnight kiss

Um give me one more goodnight kiss
