Long ago the clock washed midnight away
Bringing the dawn (Bringing the dawn, Bringing the dawn)
Oh God, I must be dreaming
Time to get up again
And time to start up again
Pulling on my socks now
Where did the night go?
Should have been asleep
When I was sitting there drinking beer
And trying to start another letter to you
Don’t know how many times I didn’t write again, last night
Should’ve been asleep when I turned the stack of records over and over so I wouldn’t be up by myself
Where did the night go?
Should go to sleep now And say fuck a job and money because I spend it all on unlined paper and can’t get past “Dear baby, how are you?”
Brush my teeth and shave
Look outside,
sky is dark
Think it may rain
Where did
Where did
Where did
Where did the Night Go by Gil Scott-Heron
