lyrics

[Verse 1]
The cup that rests above my lips,
And from my hand a dozen dips,
It looks as if it's going to be a long, long night

My eyes are lifting weights again,
The sounds pass right on through my brain,
The zombified expression of my everyday life,

[Bridge]
Wake me when it's time to go,
Hopefully time won't go too slow,
Oh, I'd love to see the daylight shine,
If only I had time

[Verse 2]
Sleeping with the rising sky,
I'll wake up when the sun's past high
It's just another morning in the twilight for me

Insomnia has stricken me,
But in my dreams, my life is free,
No bills to pay, no kids to feed
No wife to please, no jobs or deeds,

[Bridge]
Wake me when it's time to go,
Hopefully time won't go to slow,
Oh, I'd love to see the daylight shine
If only I had time

[Chorus]
The time will pay off only to see you live your life,
It's love that drives me through the grunt of my own twilight,
Don't worry, I'm fine

[Verse 3]
Working, working through the night,
Sleeping, sleeping only slight,
My time for her, my time for them
Is precious like a sparkling gem

I promise you my life is fine,
It's something that is well-defined
The midnight work just pays the bills,
The other job can pay for thrills,

[Bridge]
Wake me when it's time to go,
Hopefully time won't go to slow
Oh, I'd love to see the daylight shine
If only I had time

[Chorus]
The time will pay off only to see you live your life,
It's love that drives me through the grunt of my own twilight,
Don't worry, I'm fine
