Key of C

  .......C.........Dm.....F...........C......
  Two thirty a.m., I in solitude steep
  ......................Dm.............G............C......
  An hour and a half and still no sign of sleep.
  .......................Dm........F...................C....
  My mind's in a spin; my stomach feels tight.
  .....................F..............G............G7
  I'm one lonely soul in the night.

  CHORUS:
  ........C.................G.....C..................F....C....
  How come, you're only here when I'm sleeping?
  F............Bb.............G......G7
  Until the dawn of the day,
  ..........C...........G.......C...............F...C...
  You're here, so clear, dancing beside me.
  ........F........C...................G....
  But when I awake, you're away;
  F..................C...G...F...G
  Gone for The Day.

  It's too many nights that I lie here alone.
  With darkness clinging like moss to a stone.
  I'm resting uneasy. How long will it be,
  Till sleep drapes its veil over me?

  There must be a crank in those medical schemes,
  Suggesting we're subject to monochrome dreams.
  For I can see blue eyes and long golden hair.
  I see every colour you wear.

  And then, as we're waltzing, I ask your name.
  On every occasion it ends up the same.
  My ears strain for answers as I'm left behind;
  With a glimmer of light through the blind.
