David Gray - 4AM lyrics

Born on the sea

The night is rattling

With burglar alarm oh yeah

The night explode

The night explode

Flower by your window side

Autumn is graceful

Unladen with memory

And the wonders die

Seven o'clock in the evening

Watching TV show

Kissing your dark hair

Its your head against the sunset

And the harbor below

Its the cruelest thing

The cruelest thing

That I've ever known

Just time and circumstance

Taking their toll

As the storm beats and rolls

Your bed was a warm bed

Warm bed in the cold room

Always the same pictures on the wall

With some love in the morning

With your dog at your pillow

And a half empty bottle of baby oil

Oh seven o'clock in the evening

Born around the sea

Night is rattling

With burglar alarms

Oh their ringing out for me

The cruelest thing

The cruelest thing

That I've ever known

Time and circumstance

Taking their toll

As the storm beat and roll
