Текст песни: A Sobering Thought (Just When One Was Needed) + перевод

Sunlight seeps beneath the bedroom door

The new day can no longer be denied

You’re puzzled by the puddles on the floor

It’s time that I came clean about last night

I got a phone call from a friend I seldom see

Who thought we had some catching up to do

Suffice to say I didn’t disagree

And when I left I left the porch light on for you

Oh, it was such a sultry night

Half the city was outside

Just like moths drawn to the lights

And the stars were several

So we found ourselves a mediocre bar

And lost ourselves amongst the demimonde

A beer for every year that we’d let pass

And at «time» we wondered where the time had gone

Oh, but the breeze was beautiful

As we stumbled past the school

And upon the swimming pool

It was just too perfect

Atop the cyclone fence

I could almost see the sense in heading home

But the laughter of a friend

From the shadows of the shallow end…

Oh, when we finally fled the scene

Drunk and giddy with chlorine

God, I almost felt fifteen

Slinking down the street at night

Another minute more

And we both would have been caught

It’s a sobering thought

Just when one was needed
