Still Awake
Stonewall Jackson · Waterloo [2004]
(Stonewall Jackson)
It's three a.m. and after and I'm still awake
I thought I'd soon forget you when you went away
I wonder how much longer a man can live this way
It's three a.m. and after and I'm still awake.
Last night my friends came over and they spoke of you
But that party didn't turn out like I meant it to
I found myself a corner until they went away
They've all been gone for hours and I'm still awake.
--- Instrumental ---
Too late I see how much you really meant to me
I took your love for granted so you set me free
My world is built of memories of my mistakes
At three a.m. or after here I am awake.
Last night my friends came over and they spoke of you
But that party didn't turn out like I meant it to
I found myself a corner until they went away
They've all been gone for hours and I'm still awake...
It's three a.m. and after and I'm still awake
I thought I'd soon forget you when you went away
I wonder how much longer a man can live this way
It's three a.m. and after and I'm still awake.
Last night my friends came over and they spoke of you
But that party didn't turn out like I meant it to
I found myself a corner until they went away
They've all been gone for hours and I'm still awake.
--- Instrumental ---
Too late I see how much you really meant to me
I took your love for granted so you set me free
My world is built of memories of my mistakes
At three a.m. or after here I am awake.
Last night my friends came over and they spoke of you
But that party didn't turn out like I meant it to
I found myself a corner until they went away
They've all been gone for hours and I'm still awake...
