Christine Lavin - Ten O'Clock In Toronto Lyrics
It's Ten O'Clock in TorontoI check into a room on the 21st floorI'm travelling on cruise controlTurn on the TV and lock the doorI hear a news reporterShe says "we are looking to the skyTonight we're in the midst of a lunar eclipseHmmmm what a heavenly sight"I pull back the curtains, and thereAbove the building across the streetI spy the man in the moon playing hide and seekI try to keep my eyes fixed on that elusive moonBut I'm distracted across the wayI can see into some roomsThere's a young woman sitting at a deskSo busy writingNow a man sits next to herLooks like they're fightingShe buries her head in her handsAnd silently she criesHe gets up, paces, pounds the wallShakes his fist up to the skyTo the moon, AliceTwo rooms down I can seeJimmy Stewart and Grace KellyNo it's just a Hitch***** filmA wide screen color TVOver in the cornerThere's an old man playing with a black catIf he saw me spying like thisWhat whould he think of thatWould he think that I'm a voyeurOr just another lonely oneAn interloper taking notes of heartache on the runNow the moon is bathed in shadowsThat woman is bathed in tearsGrace Kelly bathed in the limelightFor so many yearsI'm bathed in the darknessBehind this window paneWatching light and love and lifeWax and waneNow the old man and the black catAre dozing in an easy chairAre visions dancing in their headsOf moonbeams in the airIt's Ten O'Clock in TorontoTen O'Clock in TorontoTen O'Clock in Toronto -
