[Verse 1]

She sleeps so soft, so soft I tread

Arranging papers around the bed

And if she's dreaming deep tonight

I lie with her by reading light

A glass of water by her side

And gone are hopes of getting tired

[Chorus]

I call the shots 'til you wake up

Count every second on every clock

It’s getting late, and that I know

The hours come, the hours go

[Verse 2]

Them twitching legs, them twitching arms

And there you're lying, your make-up on

And girl, if you're dreaming deep tonight

I'll lie with you by reading light

A glass of water by your side

And gone are hopes of getting tired

[Chorus]

I call the shots 'til you wake up

Count every second on every clock

It’s getting late, yeah that I know

The hours come, the hours come

[Outro]

The hours come, the hours come

The hours come, the hours come

The hours come, the hours come

The hours come, the hours come
