Say goodnight

the frozen winter world
the clouds and flock of birds
you climb the steps to your door

you kick the fallen leaves
your hands tucked in your sleeves
you brace yourself for what's in store

why can't you reap what you sow?
why can't you learn what you know
is right for you? you surely do
so take the cue
and just sit tight for a while
just sit tight tonight and say goodnight

the lonely late of night
the thin fluorescent light
it seems you've lost another day

you try to take it back
uncertain what you lack
you still can't find the words to say

why can't you reap what you sew?
why can't you learn what you know
is right for you? you surely do
so take the cue
and just sit tight for a while
just sit tight for a while
you'll be alright for a while
so just sit tight tonight and say goodnight
