Where Did the Night Go Songtext
von Gil Scott‐Heron

Long ago the clock washed midnight away
Bringing the dawn
Oh God, I must be dreaming
Time to get up again
And time to start up again
Pulling on my socks now
Where did the night go?

Should have been asleep
When I was sitting there drinking beer
And trying to start another letter to you
Don′t know how many times I dreamed
To write again last night


Should've been asleep when I turned
The stack of records over and over
So I wouldn′t be up by myself
Where did the night go?
Should go to sleep now
And say fuck a job and money
Because I spend it all on unlined paper and can't get past
"Dear baby, how are you?"

Brush my teeth and shave
Look outside, sky is dark
Think it may rain
Where did
Where did
Where did
