You're Grand

Darkness comes in like lightning

Daytime dances to midnight

Scared to death of the silence

Make last orders

Hugs and kisses

Then you’re on your own

Look for stars in the black sky

Who’s up feeling the same way?

Fill the blanks with distractions

Read a story, have some coffee

Bags under your eyes

I watch the sky

I’m waiting for the day to rise

I wish the sun could stay awake all night

Move around and it’s still here

Sun lays down and it’s sleep fear

Limerick, Dublin and London

Twilight biting, eyelids fighting

Staring way up high

I watch the sky

I’m waiting for the day to rise

I wish the sun could stay awake all night

Stay awake

Go to bed when morning’s broken

Stay awake

Watch the dark with me

Stay awake

Listening for early songbirds

Wait ‘til dawn

Until you go to sleep

I watch the sky

I’m waiting for the day to rise

I wish the sun could stay awake all night

I watch the sky

I’m waiting for the day to rise

I wish the sun could stay awake all night

I’m waiting for the day to rise

I wish the sun could stay awake all night
