This Ungodly Hour

Somewhere between the cows and the concrete

The asphalt and the sky

That's where I'll be

And if you don't hear from me

Know that I'm doing fine

What defines me

Is this skin and bone

Labour too hard to find

All of the dreams

That others forego for

The sake of an easy ride

Perhaps that's naïve

Of them or of me

Well I'm not sure

That I'm so sure anymore

I used to climb trees

I don't do that anymore

Perhaps that's 'cause I'm wiser now

Or maybe I'm just scared I might fall

I awoke at half past four again

Rolled over in my bed

What the hell am I doing

Awake at this ungodly hour

The moon plays his part

Why on earth can't I play mine

'Cause you are not here with me

Wake at this ungodly hour

So lay me down in a field of heather

Some place that's far from here

I miss your warm body, darling

I miss it most this time of year

The sun just hurts my eyes

I know that it gives you delight

But you are not here with me
