Why is it I feel awake only now
That the sun has gone down?
And time to lay my head,
Like lightning hits a lake,
Down for the night.

All day I ache
And anxious,
And evening now
I feel at my best,
And somehow it's time to rest.

And I try try try just to be alive
On a day like today.
On a day like today.

And I cry cry cry just to be alive
On a day like today.
On a day like today.
