Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There is a voice it is chastising me

I was so cold, what had become of me

Take all your limbs and wrap them 'round your neck

So they all laugh at your predicament

[Verse 2]

All of the boys and girls

All people in this world

Give me a dream and I will give you my word

[Verse 3]

I need the night

And I need this drink

Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends

Chase the morning light till all of this ends

[Verse 4]

There is a whisper that our God is a she

She sits on high over the land and the sea

Her breast is heavy in a brand new world

Tell your grandmother and your boys and your girls

She's got a brand new favourite

Tell all the shrinks and haters

Give her a dream and she will give you her word

[Verse 5]

I need the night

And I need this drink

Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends

Chase the morning light till all of this ends

[Verse 6]

I need the night

And I need this drink

Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends

Chase the morning light till all of this ends

[Verse 7]

When I realised that I never loved them

That the ones before just held me down and caused me problems

It's in the way you see me, the way you hold me high

Tell me that you love me, longest days turn coldest nights

[Verse 8]

I need the night

And I need this drink

Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends

Chase the morning light till all of this ends
