| 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 |
