[Intro]
"Not poppy nor mandragora
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday."
[Interlude]
[Verse 1]
At dead of night, when strangers roam
The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home
I lie alone, the clock strikes three
And anyone who wanted to could contact me
At dead of night, 'til break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It's much too late
[Chorus]
Where've you been? Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would
Do you lie? Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
[Verse 2]
I never knew time passed so slow
I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go
At dead of night, 'til break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It's much too late
[Chorus]
Where've you been? Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would
Do you lie? Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
[Chorus]
Where've you been? Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would
Do you lie? Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Where've you been? Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would
Do you lie? Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
[Chorus]
Where've you been? Who've you seen?
You didn't phone when you said you would
Do you lie? Do you try
To keep in touch? You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
[Outro]
I never knew 'til I met you
"Not poppy nor mandragora
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday."
"Not poppy nor mandragora
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday."
