lyrics

There's still coffee in the jug but it tastes bitter
Since I gave up milk when the fridge had no more in it
Nothing seems to wake me up these days
Every sunrise through my window comes out grey

The kitchen clock, it must be slow
You're gone but it's not time to go
And I've run out of things to say
I'm sleeping in the day

As I shamble through my memories of you
It's lucky that my hands know what to do
Roll another smoke before the last one's out
It's one drug or another, hand to mouth

The kitchen clock is surely wrong
'Cos it's not time and yet you're gone
You've taken all my songs away
I'm sleeping in the day

All the empty mugs and ashtrays bring me down
It's as much as I can do to watch them drown
It's getting harder not to reach for empty space
When I stretch my fingertips to touch your face

I don't believe the kitchen clock
It's been so long since my time stopped
The cat just sits and stares and asks me why
I'm sleeping in the day

I don't believe the kitchen clock
It's been so long since my heart stopped
You've taken all my songs away
I'm sleeping in the day
I'm sleeping in the day
