Three A.M. Is Not My Friend

by Rue Calloway-Voss

“I wrote this at the kitchen table with the fridge humming at me. We played it first because it starts so quiet you can hear the room.”

Lyrics

The fridge hums low in the kitchen
The clock is a slow dripping tap
Third night in a row I'm awake
Staring at the crack in the map
Everyone's dreaming but me
Streetlight leaking through the blinds
I'm tracing old arguments on the ceiling
Wrong words, wrong time

Quiet now, quiet now
Hear it in the walls

Three A.M. is not my friend
It never lets the hurting end
Counting sheep who all ran off
Wrap me up in fuzz and fog
Three A.M. is not my friend
Come on, morning, come on in

Cold tea on the windowsill
A dog barks out on the street
I wrote your name on a napkin
And folded it small, and ate
Tomorrow I'll be fine, I swear
Coffee, sun and a lie
But right now the dark has my number
And it calls and I don't know why

Quiet now, quiet now
Hear it in the walls

Three A.M. is not my friend
It never lets the hurting end
Counting sheep who all ran off
Wrap me up in fuzz and fog
Three A.M. is not my friend
Come on, morning, come on in

Light, a little light
At the edge of the blinds
Birds, a couple of birds
Taking their time

Three A.M. is not my friend
It never lets the hurting end
Counting sheep who all ran off
Wrap me up in fuzz and fog
Three A.M. is not my friend
Come on, morning, come on in

Come on in
Come on in
