I′m blue, and it's 2 in the morning

My heart like a jar, it has cracked without warning

It′s true, my love, that it's closer to morningAnd morning is Stranger Than The Night

I'm down and it′s 7 ′til sunrise

All that I want is to stare into your eyes

Bonnie Queen Blondie, your evening surprise

Is so sweet, so Stranger Than The Night

Give my impressions there upon your canvas

Darling, what have you to lose

I'm so sick of sitting here, staring at candles

And singing these sad sucker′s blues

And I'm sad, cause it′s 2 in the evening

And I can't stare at you, so I stare at the ceiling

Please don′t be leaving, for you are my liebling

You're perfect, you're Stranger Than The Night

I knew, and I knew it beforehand

And here I thought I had the style and the score planned

Still, even still I am sinking in quicksand

It′s deeper and Stranger Than The Night

All that can save me is your hand in mine

To never, no, never let go

Bring me back up to where that fat sun shines

And close up these eyes that won′t glow

And I shake in the freezing cold

Let me come back, Let me come back

I quake in my boots

Lover, let me come in

I'm not in your party hold

Let me come back, Let me come back

I′m split from my roots

Lover, let me come in

Cause I'm Blue, and it′s 9 in the morning

My face like a statue is stuck and is scorning

I'm through, yes, I′m through with my trying to score things

I'm grasping, I'm Stranger Than The Night

It′s dawn, and it laughs at my troubles

For all that it cares I′m just blowing bubbles

I can't help but scratch at my seven-day stubble

It′s subtle, it's Stranger Than The Night

It′s noon, and I have a life waiting

And all of these joys I was anticipating

Are all drained of color, and I am left waiting

If waking is Stranger Than The Night

Now it's so formal, down to my socks

My life needs what your being has

You were my normal, you were my rock

Now I′m stuck playing tedious Jazz
