‘You’re Grand’, deals with Aoife’s battle with insomnia.
“I often get insomnia and sometimes just dread the evening-time, and being alone with my own brain. I’ve always felt that you’re your most mortal when you’re on your own at night. You don’t have anything to distract you. You’re sitting there,...
[Verse 1]
Darkness comes in like lightning
Daytime dances to midnight
Scared to death of the silence
Make last orders
Hugs and kisses
Then you're on your own
Look for stars in the black sky
Who's up feeling the same way?
Fill the blanks with distractions
Read a story, have some coffee
Bags under your eyes
[Chorus]
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun could stay awake all night
[Verse 2]
Move around and it's still here
Sun lays down and it's sleep fear
Limerick, Dublin and London
Twilight biting, eyelids fighting
Staring way up high
[Chorus]
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun could stay awake all night
[Bridge]
Stay awake
Go to bed when morning's broken
Stay awake
Watch the dark with me
Stay awake
Listening for early songbirds
Wait ‘til dawn
Until you go to sleep
[Chorus]
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun could stay awake all night
I watch the sky
I'm waiting for the day to rise
I wish the sun could stay awake all night
I'm waiting for the day to rise
Could stay awake all night
