Two Sleepy People
By Silje Nergaard (At First Light)

Here we are, out of cigarettes.
Holding hands and yawning, look how late it gets.
Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light.
And too much in love to say goodnight.

Here we are, in the cozy chair,
Pickin’ on a wishbone, from the frigid air.
Two sleepy people with nothing to say,
And too much in love to break away.

Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Father didn’t like you at all.
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall?
To get a little rest, to get this little nest.

Here we are just about the same,
Foggy little fella, drowsy little dame.
Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light,
And too much in love to say goodnight.
