Lyrics for HOPE FOR THE NIGHT TIME
I was on the ground I mean the literal ground Drunk out of my mind They said it's closing time And then they threw me out I was half asleep Then they woke me up Told me everything is going to be what it is But, yeah, you gotta get up Then they took me home Put me in my bed Took off both my shoes Said a man can choose To crawl or stand up Hope for the night time (hope for the night time) Love every stranger Hope when you don't know (hope when you don't know) If you can make it up Hope for the weary, yeah (hope for the weary) Life is contagious Hope for your journey (hope for your journey) Hope for you I was up before you Threw out all my booze Put on my walking shoes Threw out my drinking shoes And swore I'd give it up I made it to around six We're talking p.m. now Was back at the same bar I'll get it started tomorrow I ain't ready now I was on the ground I mean the literal ground Drunk out of my mind They said it's closing time And then they threw me out Hope for the night time (hope for the night time) Love every stranger Hope when you don't know (hope when you don't know) If you can make it up Hope for the weary, yeah (hope for the weary) Life is contagious Hope for your journey (hope for your journey) Hope for you
