[Verse 1]

It'll get you on the last bus home

Get you at the discount bend

It'll get you on the old dancefloor

Get you when the party ends

[Chorus]

Oh 4am, is the time when you were mine

Frozen in deepest sleep, for only I to keep

Now there ain't a hiding place on earth

Where loneliness ain't been first

[Verse 2]

It'll get you hanging out your clothes

Get you when you wash your hair

It'll get you as you're making plans

Catch you trying to climb the stairs

[Chorus]

Oh 4am, is the time when you were mine

Frozen in deepest sleep, watching the morning creep

Now there ain't a hiding place on earth

Where loneliness ain't been first

[Bridge]

Hard times, hole in my heart

Who stole the sun and left me alone again

Give me a guiding light

Stretch of sky and the hand on my shoulder, singing

Hard times, hole in my heart

Who stole the sun and left me alone again

Give me a guiding light

Stretch of sky and the hand on my shoulder

[Chorus]

Oh 4am is the time when you were mine

Frozen in deepest sleep, for only I to keep

Now there ain't a hiding place on earth

Where loneliness ain't been first

Oh, no

There ain't a hiding place on earth

Where loneliness ain't been first

Been first

Been first
