on the nights you stay home
I don't even go downtown
so don't worry about it
don't know what I'm doing now

and on the nights you stay home
I don't run into your friends
at a party in Parkdale
at a bar in the east end

come on girl get your head up right
come on girl you can lose sleep tonight
I won't tell you about something that happened
I won't tell you bout anything that happens tonight

girl get your head up right
come on girl, tell me some other time
I know you wonder if I sleep alone
On the nights you stay home

and on the nights you stay home
I don't even look at my phone
You need time along
me, I guess I don't

and on the nights you stay home
nobody says your name
nobody talks about you
everything is exactly the same

come on girl get your head up right
come on girl you can lose sleep tonight
I won't tell you about something that happened
I won't tell you bout anything that happens tonight

girl get your head up right
come on girl, tell me some other time
I know you wonder if I sleep alone
On the nights you stay home

come on girl get your head up right
come on girl you can lose sleep tonight
I won't tell you about something that happened
I won't tell you bout anything that happens tonight

girl get your head up right
come on girl, tell me some other time
I know you wonder if I sleep alone
On the nights you stay home

Donovan meets Bruce Cockburn.
Nice tune!  Solid 7 IMO.
good sounds (got a thunderstorm drenching my east end as this plays, quite fine : )
Great song...Port Cites do a wonderful version of this song as well

Nice song. A bit achy love downbeat.  

 
I hear Sufjan (if he were taking a stronger dose of anti-weepy pills) but more Iron and Wine—and that's the way I like it. 
How lovely to hear this on RP!
Nice song.  Thanks, RP, for introducing me to this artist.  
Nice string arrangement, but the song itself is pretty ho hum
WOW.  Ears perked up.  Straight up my alley.  I enjoy the dabs of bells & violin here... really paints the picture.

I get the feeling that he would resonate at a different level in a live performance.   
Support.
Great to finally hear Don on RP. good song, great guy. His earlier albums are great as well.
