It'll get you on the last bus home

get you at the discount bend

it'll get youon the old dance floor

get you as the party ends



Oh 4am, is the time when you were mine

frozen in deepest sleep, for only i to keep

now there aint no hiding place on earth 

that loneliness aint been first



It'll get you hanging out your clothes

get you as you wash your hair

it'll get you as your're making plans

catch you trying to climb the stairs



oh 4am is the time when you were mine 

frozen in deepest sleep, watching the morning creep

now there ain't no hiding place on earth 

that loneliness ain't been first



hard times, hole in my heart, who stole the sun and

left me alone again

give me a guiding light, a stretch of sky and a hand on 

my shoulder singing

hard times, hole in my heart, who stole the sun and

left me alone again

give me a guiding light, a stretch of sky and a hand on 

my shoulder



Oh 4am is the time when were mine

frozen in deepest sleep,for only i to keep

now there ain't no place on earth

That loneliness ain't been first



Oh no, there ain't no hiding place on earth

that loneliness ain't been first, been first, been first
