It's four in the morning, who knows why I can't sleep, and if I try I can't follow where she goes When she closes those beautiful eyes The shadowland those silken tents are drawn across, The continent of heresy she wanders in Savoring the call to maybe this time, Make it permanent I'll give up smoking one day, maybe soon Dogs'll give up barking at the moon Keeping watch across the hour I'll maybe one day find a tower And open up a lighthouse come saloon Lookin' at her face, I can see The bones of an Egyptian dynasty The eyelids open just a crack below the lashes, Shining back like scimitars, Across the night at me Well it's four am, who knows how far My rope'd run if I hired a car Hit each town, never stayed Left the motel bills unpaid Just defied the way they say things are In my mind I see that final town Outta cash, axles in the ground Lying in a hostel bed No-one there to hold my head Some internal organ breakin' down I can feel the midnight fading, all desires Are out there with you singing in the wires I wonder when the corner shop is open, If the wind'll drop before the dawn, And frost up all the tires It's four in the morning, what can I do A Don Alejandros should see me through The hard reality is this I got woken with a kiss Once upon a time, one night with you
