In the Dark - Carl Broemel

So many people are awake in the city

I see them walking up and down the road

Think eventually they will be sleeping

Try to find a quite place to go

But theres a limited number of spaces

With comfy mattresses and soft pillows

Whether your bed is just a spot on the pavement

Or an apartment on the eighty fifth floor

Your gonna end everyday of your life

Lying there in the dark

Your gonna end every day lying there

Tired of writing pretty invitations

To the slumber that never comes

Clock ticks talking all night

And an empty stomach keeping me up

Dancing all evening all my friends stumbling drunks

Hanging back thinking your better but I don’t care who you are

Your gonna end everyday of your life lying there

In the dark in the dark

In the dark in the dark

Brain still humming the tune

Pray for the sleep thats coming

And hold on hold on

I wonder if I’ll dream about you

I wonder I’ll sing and then I’ll dream

I woke up early and i stood in the window

Felt like the only body in the world

Rain coats taxi horns one big yellow blur

I’m hanging on the sense of making a little

Watch me pour it down the hole if you’ve got somebody

Or your crawling to your bed all alone

Your gonna end everyday of your life lying there

In the dark in the dark

In the dark in the dark

Brain still humming the tune

Pray for the sleep thats coming

And hold on hold on

Hold on
