A Day in the Night - The Lilac Time

Life is cheap

Keep the receipt

And I can claim it back, pal

You’re so sweet

I won’t cheat

Or have you heard that one, gal?

What have I done wrong?

I’m only looking for a day in the night

Times are hard

They always are

It’s just our way of life, mate

And when I’m down

I go to town

Until it’s too late

What have I done to my soul?

Looking for a day in the night

It’s 4am, I’m restless

And the night is just beginning to get old

Every story has been told

Now will you join me?

So we can sing together down a sleepy street

It’s why we had to meet

We were looking for a day in the night
