i really need to be asleep / night

but
there was something i was wanting to tell you today
and then i couldn't remember what it was
now i remember
i have to tell you


night

i love
when the days are long
when it's light out at nine p.m.
and you'd think i wouldn't
because i'm such a night person
but
when it's dark at six-o-clock
that's not really night
so it's all phony and meaningless
when it doesn't get to be night until nine
well
then you know it's well and truly night
no foolin around
so it's not as long
but it's for real, ya know
