The Nightshift
Some Velvet Morning * Track #1 On Silence Will Kill You
The Nightshift Lyrics
Your working day now complete
The world outside falls asleep, a cradle to the cold
This situation tonight
I'm here, you're there, it's not right
To have and not to hold
The nighshift lay before me
The nightshift make me stay away
Just know that I would love to be, with you
But I can't do right now you see
There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you
An invitation to spend
The evening out with my friends, I regretfully decline
The chance to lay down beside my baby for the night
I had to let slip by
The nighshift lay before me
The nightshift make me stay away
Just know that I would love to be, with you
But I can't do right now you see
There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you
I look around, I can't come down
When there's so much to be done
So understand, it's who I am
The nightshift is what I've become
Just know that I would love to be, with you
But I can't do right now you see
There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you
When you're down remember this
Close your eyes, make a wish, 'cause it's my alibi
When you're lost remember this
Close your eyes and picture this, sleep tonight
