Rolling On

You're up late at night hoping that no one hears you


Not even your sleepiness will get near you


But you just can't get that one last chord


so you try finishing a letter before you get too bored





And the night turns to dawn


Yesterday is forever gone


and the dawn she keeps rolling on





You finally awake and take in the warmth of the day


The song dancing in your head won't stay


It's beautiful on paper as you write it on the page


And your tape recorder becomes the stage





And the dawn turns to night


daytime is well out of sight


so you play to the full moon light
