[Verse 1]
It'll get you on the last bus home
Get you at the discount bin
It'll get you on the old dancefloor
Get you when the party ends
[Chorus]
Oh 4am, is the time when you were mine
Frozen in deepest sleep, for only I to keep
Now there ain't a hiding place on earth
Where loneliness ain't been first
[Verse 2]
It'll get you hanging out your clothes
Get you when you wash your hair
It'll get you as you're making plans
Catch you trying to climb the stairs
[Chorus]
Oh 4am, is the time when you were mine
Frozen in deepest sleep, watching the morning creep
Now there ain't a hiding place on earth
Where loneliness ain't been first
[Bridge]
Hard times, hole in my heart
You stole the sun and left me alone again
Give me a guiding light
Stretch your sky and the hand on my shoulder, singing
Hard times, hole in my heart
You stole the sun and left me alone again
Give me a guiding light
Stretch your sky and the hand on my shoulder
[Chorus]
Oh 4am is the time when you were mine
Frozen in deepest sleep, for only I to keep
Now there ain't a hiding place on earth
Where loneliness ain't been first
Oh, no
There ain't a hiding place on earth
Where loneliness ain't been first
Been first
Been first
