Goodnight to the Morning

Clicking keys, the dead of night
I haven't slept a wink
And steady hands are not so steady
After that last drink
I'm just a couple words away from the end now
Followed every twist, turn, and bend
How can I still be awake
To finish this tired verse?

Well I think it's time
That we said goodnight to the morning
Cause I see painted skies
It's not like we didn't have any warning
To turn in, so turn in
Before we fall like the morning dew
So how about you say goodnight?

Fumbled lines, imperfect rhymes
They all say I'm a hack
A sea of critics' bitter lash
"His latest one was trash"
I'm just a couple spots away from the bottom
Rejection slips, you know I've got 'em
How can I still toil at night
When I can't see any light?

So I think it's time
That we said goodnight to the morning
Cause I see painted skies
It's not like we didn't have any warning
To turn in, so turn in
Before we fall like the morning dew
So how about you say goodnight?

When is it time
To throw in the towel?
Tried getting the worm
But I'm a night owl
Tomorrow's alarm
Going off on the nightstand
I can't stand the daylight

So stay in bed
Till the moon comes peaking
Through the clouds
On a cool fall evening
Time slows down
The smallest hours
Grow so long
As you wait for bird song
The hours grow so long
As you wait for bird song

So I think it's time
I think it's time

Well I think it's time
That we said goodnight to the morning
Cause I see painted skies
It's not like we didn't have any warning
To turn in, so turn in
Before we fall like the morning dew
So how about you say goodnight?
