Rock Ballad

lyrics
3 A.M.

On those cold nights when I’m all alone
And the sounds from the street
Are a quiet drone
3 am, 3 am, 3 am
Where are you now my love,
Where are you now?

On my tv set people laugh and cry
As the tears in my heart try to reach my eyes
4 am, 4 am, 4 am
Who are you with my love,
Who is that you’re with?

What’s there left to do my love?
I’m in love with you…

As the stars go out
And the fogs crawls in
So do you with your breath
Smelling of cheap gin
5 am, 5 am, 5 am
From the guilt and pain my love,
Who stands to gain?

As I rush to work haven’t slept a wink
On the bus as I ride I begin to think
8 am, 8 am, 8 am
Colder than the night my love,
We don’t even fight…

What’s there left to do my love?
I am through with you!
