Not an Early Bird

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
