Mark Heard - Awake In The Nighttime lyrics

They cast their visions in black and white In the old times And all those faces And all those lines got to me I've got to see how it ends And I'm Awake in the nighttime Awake in the nighttime Lost in a lifetime It was a love to end all bogus devotion It was a war to end all hostile belief Such a bittersweet notion Now I can't get to sleep And I'm Awake in the nighttime Awake in the nighttime Lost in a lifetime Awake in the nighttime Lost in a lifetime Awake in the nighttime Bleary eyes, dusky skies Take my mind to another place Show me who, tell me what Make me wonder why Make a life flash in front of my eyes It was the best of times And it was the worst of times Big screen kisses and bombed-out villages reigned Some things never change And now I'm Awake in the nighttime Awake in the nighttime Lost in a lifetime Awake in the nighttime Lost in a lifetime Awake in the nighttime
