This has been a long, unhappy night,
and I've heard things I don't wanna hear
'cause I've said things I don't wanna say
and still a lot has gone unsaid.
It's the type of thing you read about,
all the best plays, all the saddest films
done all ways conceivable
yet it's deadly real to me now
Lift your head; the sun is rising.
Dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse,
dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse.
(?) when I first laid eyes on you,
I have lined your face with misery.
Rays of hope ever diminishing
into a look you reserve for me.
When I see the inhumanity,
suffering, despair, futility,
of a world (?) of love
I might feel a little more at home.
Lift your head; the sun is rising.
Dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse,
dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse.
and I've heard things I don't wanna hear
'cause I've said things I don't wanna say
and still a lot has gone unsaid.
It's the type of thing you read about,
all the best plays, all the saddest films
done all ways conceivable
yet it's deadly real to me now
Lift your head; the sun is rising.
Dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse,
dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse.
(?) when I first laid eyes on you,
I have lined your face with misery.
Rays of hope ever diminishing
into a look you reserve for me.
When I see the inhumanity,
suffering, despair, futility,
of a world (?) of love
I might feel a little more at home.
Lift your head; the sun is rising.
Dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse,
dry your eyes and look at me.
What I've said is no excuse.
