Up - Pauline Taylor

night time is creeping, still i can't sleep
where do i go when there's no more to watch
just an endless parade of what happened today
in a far away country a city a town

self medication is out of the question
i'm easily influenced under sedation
so stare in the fridge and consider my options
hear cats call for lovers outside

i wait for the rumblings of buses and trains
i'm sorry my head won't be on it today
'cause i haven't had sleep for a while


won't turn the light on it wakes up the silence
stumbling around trying hard not to count down
the time is a misleading snail pace a drip feed
i cannot be the only one

i wait for the rumblings of buses and trains
i'm sorry my head won't be on it today
'cause i haven't had sleep for a while


concentrate on to-do lists for monday and tuesday
but my eyes will not focus my mind floats away
only twelve hours later i'm trying again
as the skin on my face sees a dull subtle change
'cause i haven't had sleep for a while

i wait for the rumblings of buses and trains
i'm sorry my head won't be on it today
'cause i haven't had sleep for a whilenight time is creeping, still i can't sleep
