Late at night at half past two
You turn up the song thats on the air again
As loud as you can
Its an awfull tune they play
But somehow it makes you feel that way you did
For so many days
Open up the window wide
Then you sing that song into the night and wish
That someone gets your call
Then you dance until your shirt
Is wet and everyones awake around
Oh, it takes a lot
And then you sing:
"be gentle to me when I fly
Be gentle to me when I cry
Be gentle now and then
Hoped youd never let me slip away
But you did it yesterday "
Late at night at half past four
Youre still wondering what youre waiting for this time
It wont be the same
Try to sing yourself asleep
You can find no rest under your clumsy sheet
Oh, it takes a lot
