Running down my batteries
Laying me out to rest
Knowing when that in five hours
I wake up into stress
And I'm digging myself into a hole
And these days I just work
On when one song had so much soul
And lately I've forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now my mind is working overtime
It's been a long day
Such a long day
And while all my contemporary
(all my friends say)
Are sitting in college now
(sitting in a desk)
My education is dragging, dragging
My guitar through London town
And the thing that wakes me when
I could sleep instead
Is the thought that tonight
I could fall back into bed
And lately I've forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now my mind is working overtime
It's been a long day
It's been a long day
(Such a long day)
Recently my head
It ain't recharged as such
And sleep can only cure, yeah
A restless mind so much
And lately I've forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now my mind is working overtime
It's been a long day
It's been a long long long day
It's been a long long long day
It's been a long day
So long, so long, so long
