lyrics

I drag the morning into the afternoon
I'm still thinking about what I said
and if I said it too soon
The little children are laughing in the street
They don't have any expectations to meet
I can hear them calling but the sound is so far off

Like a diver deep down in the sea
I wanna sink until the darkness washes over me
But the sun is shining, gonna burn up this whole town
Till there ain't nobody left like me hanging 'round
And by the time I finally throw the blankets off
it's 4 o'clock

Oh and if I could block out the light
Only a few hours more until the soft warm night
Maybe I'll pack my bags, move somewhere far up north
Where the winter's everlasting and I won't remember who I was before

Like a wounded bird I tussle and turn
lying here in the silence while my insides twist and yearn
Never thought I would be the sick and shuttered kind
Digging over and over at the bottom of my mind

But I know there's something way down
Gleaming in the wreckage like a long forgotten crown
I wanna wear it on my head
I wanna carry it around
I want everyone to see it shining in the light of day
And I won't ever let any of 'em steal it away
But by the time I finally throw the blankets off
It's 4 o'clock
