Where Did The Night Go GIL SCOTT HERON

Long ago the clock washed midnight away Bringing the dawn Oh God, I must be dreaming Time to get up again And time to start up again Pulling on my socks again Should have been asleep When I was sitting there drinking beer And trying to start another letter to you Don t know how many times I dreamed to write again last night Should ve been asleep when I turned the stack of records over and over So I wouldn t be up by myself Where did the night go Should go to sleep now And say fuck a job and mone Because I spend it all on unlined paper and can t get past Dear baby, how are you Brush my teeth and shave Look outside, sky is dark Think it may rain Where did Where did Where did
