Long ago the clock washed midnight away
|
Bringing the dawn
|
Oh God, I must be dreaming
|
Time to get up again
|
And time to start up again
|
Pulling on my socks again
|
Should have been asleep
|
When I was sitting there drinking beer
|
And trying to start another letter to you
|
Don't know how many times I dreamed to write again last night
|
Should've been asleep when I turned the stack of records over and over
|
So I wouldn't be up by myself
|
Where did the night go?
|
Should go to sleep now
|
And say fuck a job and money
|
Because I spend it all on unlined paper and can't get past
|
"Dear baby, how are you?"
|
Brush my teeth and shave
|
Look outside, sky is dark
|
Think it may rain
|
Where did
|
Where did
|
Where did
|
|

Where Did The Night Go
