I'm a day sleeper since you're gone The stars in the sky give way to the dawn The moon must go to make room for the sun Then I hand out my sign please don't disturb Even the lonely must sleep between the hurt I'm a day sleeper and the nighttime weeper Yes I fight your memory alone My world is running in reverse and at night I fight the hurt I'm a day sleeper since you're gone [ steel ] I walk in the moonlight and look at the stars Wondering if you might be in some passing car Or in an all night cafe lovin' it up You're a happy day sleeper or at least you've been loved I'm a day sleeper and the nighttime weeper... I'm a day sleeper since you're gone
