For the night to last

The greetings of the sparrows at the first light
As I’m clingin’ on to the night
I’m pretending that tomorrow ain’t here yet
As I’m failing once again to reset

Oh my oh my for how long have I
been looking through the vulture’s eye?
And seen me lying there with that hollow stare
Just livin’ by the hourglass
Just hopin’ for the the night to last

There’s a ragin’ fire right below this wire
I’ve been walkin’on for way too long
And there’s a fadin’ smile in the face of denial
As I’m failing once again to move on

Oh my oh my for how long have I
been looking through the vulture’s eye?
And seen me lying there with that hollow stare
Just livin’ by the hourglass
Just hopin’ for the the night to last

My eyes are gettin’ heavy, almost outta here
But there’s a whisper in my ear; “Hey wake up”

Oh my oh my for how long have I
been looking through the vulture’s eye?
And seen me lying there with that hollow stare
Just livin’ by the hourglass
Just hopin’ for the the night to last

Oh my oh my for how long have I
been looking through the vulture’s eye?
And seen me lying there with that hollow stare
Just livin’ by the hourglass

Oh my oh my for how long have I
been looking through the vulture’s eye?
And seen me lying there with that hollow stare
Just livin’ by the hourglass
Just hopin’ for the the night to last!

For the night to last!
Yeah!
Oh my my oh my!
Hey! Hey!

Oh my oh my for how long have I
been looking through the vulture’s eye?
And seen me lying there with that hollow stare
Just livin’ by the hourglass
Just hopin’ for the the night to last
