Lyrics

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 now (Where did the night go?) 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 didn't 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, "Hell, 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? Oh God, I must be dreaming Sky is dark, think it may rain Sky is dark, oh God I must be dreaming (Where did the night go?) Sky is dark, think it may rain Sky is dark, oh God I must be dreaming Should've been asleep when I turned The stack of records over and over And over and over and over and over and over And over and over and over (Where did the night go?) The sky is dark, think it may rain The sky is dark, oh God I must be dreaming Where did the night go? Where did Where did Where did the night go?
