Up late at night all alone Can't you see that I'm trying? Trying so hard to hold on to The things I know But in the evening I will have to go What I most want is bad for me I know Out in the dark, shaking hands, In the street, I'm drifting Drifting away from my family towards my foes My mother told me you'll reap what you sow What you most is want is bad for me you know Back in my home late at night All alone, I'm flying Flying above all my troubles My mind's a gull When I am happy my heart starts to slow What I most want is bad for me I know Late in the morning I wake All alone, I'm crying Crying for all of the people who love me so But when we get sad we know where to go What we most want is bad for us we know
