Shut out the light

Chase away the night

And you try to shake it loose

You try to make some use of it

And you hold on to the sides

And cover up your eyes this time

And you wish away the dreams

But it hangs on like a memory

You buy another book

As you try another look

And turn another page

And wipe away the days this time

And there's nowhere left to look

But it bites you on the foot again

And you try to shake it free

But it hangs on like a memory

And it's not the only way

And there's nothing left to say this time

And you try to shake it free

But it hangs on like a memory
