Three More Hours Lyrics

Three More Hours Lyrics

Then I wake up with a start
"Stay peaceful, stay peaceful"
Try to calm my racing heart
There's no evil
There's nothing that can touch me where I lie

In these four walls I feel alone and small
Till I see there's only three more hours till the sun
In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms
Till I see only three more hours till the dark is done

My mind becomes a wild thing
I'll speak softly to it, softly
These rough edges need sanding
So gently
I tell myself it's okay to slow down

In these four walls I feel alone and small
Till I see there's only three more hours till the sun
In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms
Till I see only three more hours till the dark is done

To whatever part of me that's keeping watch
Oh, I know, I know, I know that you're just doing what you're told to
You're warning me there's danger when there's not
So I'll put you back to sleep
I'll let you know it if I need you

In these four walls I feel alone and small
Till I see there's only three more hours till the sun
In my heart of hearts, there's a thousand false alarms
Till I see only three more hours till the dark is done
Till the dark is done
