THE NIGHTSHIFT
Des Lambert/Gavin Lambert/Rob Flanagan

Your working day now complete
The world outside falls asleep, a cradle to the cold.
This situation tonight, I'm here, you're there,
It's not right, to have and not to hold.

The Nighshift lay before me.
The Nightshift make me stay away.

Just know that I would love to be, with you
But I can't do right now you see.
There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.

An invitation to spend
The evening out with my friends I regretfully decline.
The chance to lay down beside
My baby for the night I had to let slip by.

The Nighshift lay before me.
The Nightshift make me stay away.

Just know that I would love to be, with you
But I can't do right now you see.
There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.

I look around, I can't calm down
When there's so much to be done
So understand, it's who I am
The Nightshift is what I've become.

Just know that I would love to be, with you
I can't do right now you see.
There's nowhere I would rather be, than with you.

When your down remember this
Close your eyes, make a wish cos it's my alibi.
When your lost remember this
Close your eyes and picture this,
Sleep tonight, sleep tonight.
