5 O'clock
In the Morning
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
I'm awake and tired and sleepless again
usually when I'm like this
I want to sleep but this time is different
I'm liking being alone.
I'm awake and tired and sleepless again
usually when I'm like this
I want to sleep but this time is different
I'm liking being alone.
At six the house will start to stir
noises will help keep me awake
hurry off to work with you so I may
have this precious time to myself
last an hour or two more.
It's already hot outside by seven
so back to bed I'll go to sleep
unless of course this feeling persists
that I am mine alone to keep
the thoughts unraveling in my head.
