Awake in the Nighttime Lyrics by Mark Heard

Dry Bones Dance

[Verse 1]
They cast their visions in black and white in the old times
And all those faces and all those lines got to me
Oh, I’ve got to see how it ends
I’m
[Chorus 1]
Awake in the nighttime
Awake in the nighttime
Lost in a lifetime
[Verse 2]
It was a love to end all bogus devotion
It was a war to end all hostile belief
Such a bittersweet notion
Now I can’t get to sleep
And I’m
[Chorus 2]
Awake in the nighttime
Awake in the nighttime
Lost in a lifetime
Awake in the nighttime
Lost in a lifetime
Awake in the nighttime
[Bridge]
Bleary eyes, dusky skies
Take my mind to another place
Show me who, tell me what
Make me wonder why
Make a life flash in front of my eyes
Awake in the nighttime
Ah, awake in the nighttime
[Verse 3]
It was the best of times
And it was the worst of times
Big screen kisses and bombed-out villages reigned
Oh, some things never change
So I’m
[Chorus 2]
Awake in the nighttime
Awake in the nighttime
Lost in a lifetime
Awake in the nighttime
Lost in a lifetime
Awake in the nighttime
[Outro]
Awake in the nighttime
Awake in the nighttime
Awake in the nighttime
Awake in the nighttime
Wooh
