Since you're up -
I know you're up,
Curled bleary eyed around your phone
I found a rock
That I'm tired
Of kicking home alone
Your throat is dry -
Dried out from all
The nothing-left-to-talk-about
But since you're up -
I know you're up
Come talk to me
The park is ours
No one for hours
And miles and silvery miles around
The greying dawn
Is a heavy boat
Run aground
And nothing moves -
Least of all, you!
It never did, far as you know
But when you're up
Long as we're up
Some things just go
CHORUS:
Like the bells go
And the birds go
And the lights go
And we go
(Inst. Verse)
CHORUS
