Up at 2:00 a.m. – Bic Runga’s “Get Some Sleep”

This song is running over and over again in my head.

It really has become a kind of anthem for me, and I plan on asking Bic Runga to let me include the words to her song in my book.

If you get a chance, buy a copy of her brilliant album “Beautiful Collision” from iTunes; that album has “Get Some Sleep” on it. 

Now, I’m off to get some sleep myself.  I got a whopping 9 hours last night, but tonight I have only gotten about 2&1/2 hours so far.  Not good.

Snooze ya later! Dyane

 

”Get Some Sleep” by Bic Runga

From here to there to everywhere and back to Union Square

When do I get some sleep?

Anywhere the sleep dust lies – it decorates your eyes

When will I get some sleep?

 

Stranded in June, whistling the same old tune

But I do believe I might be having fun

I believe I might be having fun

Impeccably dressed in your second-hand vest, we were waiting for the taxi to come

 

Putting on my daytime eyes

A good-enough disguise, until I get some sleep

Reading out the horoscopes, and using up our jokes

Where do we get some sleep?

 

Stand on the moon, find the light of my living room

Yes I do believe I might be having fun

I believe I might having fun

Tune into the station, make a dedication

This is going out to everyone

This is going out to everyone

 

Something in the phrasing was quietly amazing

We were waiting for the chorus to come

This is going out to everyone

This is going out to everyone

 

From here to there to everywhere and back to Union Square

When do I get some sleep?

Anywhere the sleep dust lies, it decorates your eyes

When will I get some sleep?

 

Stranded in June, whistling the same old tune

But I do believe I might be having fun

I believe I might be having fun

Tune into the station, make a dedication

This is going out to everyone

This is going out to everyone

This is going out to everyone

Going out to everyone
