The Nightshift - Some Velvet Morning

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
