lyrics
As I lie awake at night all clinched up with fright.
I sing I sing I do I do songbird of the afternoon.
As I wake up I think of all I got then I drown out all my thoughts.
I sing I sing I do I do songbird of the afternoon.
Tears fall down like raindrops try and drown out all my thoughts.
I sing I sing I do I do songbird of the afternoon.
This is such a subtle thing so few hear what I mean.
I sing I sing I do I do songbird of the afternoon.
(Instrumental)
Tears fall down like raindrops try and drown out all my thoughts.
I sing I sing I do I do songbird of the afternoon yeah.
As I lie to rest at night all clinched up with fright.
I sink I sink I do I do songbird of the afternoon.
