sunday evening
half past nine
slowly breathing
too much wine
the neighbours went to bed
and turned off the lights
now I can see your face at night
the sound of traffic passing by
on highways far away oh my
God it never was meant to be
daylight human beings
crickets sing oh gloria
for lack of love hallelujah
rehearse this song for you and me
‘cause each one of us is gonna travel six feet
the sounds of aeroplanes passing by
for destinations far oh my
God it never was meant to be
daylight human beings
monday morning half past eight
the neighbours went to work
and the crickets lost their faith
drink some more so long farewell
let the people stew in their daylight hell.
