Not An Early Bird Lyrics

I am not an early bird but just for once I woke in darkness

Last nights fireworks still exploding

I had hoped that you might write me tell me you've been dreaming of me

It got late I lay there weeping

Morning came and went

While I shivered cursing foolish things I said

Another disappointment what did I expect

No more hanging round for love that clearly isn't there

Even when the promise seems to linger in the air

All it does is show me how nobody really cares

I am surely better off alone

I'm not one to burn the candle but for once I lay there restless

Trying to keep the fire from fading

I had hoped that you might write me tell me you've been yearning for me

It got late I lay there weeping

Midnight came and went

While I wondered if I'm just too much to take

Another reason for me not to leave my bed

No more hanging round for love that clearly isn't there

Even when the chances seem to linger in the air

All it does is show me how nobody even cares

I am surely better on my own
