In The Late Hours

from The River and the Burial Ground by Jon McDevitt

/

lyrics

In the late hours
sleep keeps slipping away
Wait for the dawn, bird-song
Wait for the new day

In the late hours,
you can catch your breath... Catch a star
Catch a dream passing

And sometimes in the silence,
you wonder if you know yourself at all
In the darkness,
you wonder if you still exist
You see yourself, catch yourself,
catch your breath and say,
'I didn't ever see it running out this way'

In the late hours,
there’s not enough space in your head
for all your hopes and fears, and all of their hopes and dreams

My mouth it will not speak
Everything’s collapsing
Everything feels weak
Everything's collapsing
There are hopes that lie in tatters,
it’s true that the fragile shatters,
and I can’t believe how much it matters

In the dying of the light,
at the onset of the lonely night
I wish it weren’t this way,
and I can’t believe I don’t know what to say

In the late hours
