Wake me in the night
A melancholy folk-pop number
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
D2 D9(Cbass)
The early hours are peaceful silent and serene
G B6
But if sleep won't come your thoughts return to how things might have been
D2 D9(Cbass)
If you need reassurance everything will be alright
G A D2
Just reach out and wake me in the night
If the darkness clouds your thinking as you search back through the years
Or panic stirs unbidden through a plethora of fears
If you're losing your perspective on what's wrong and what is right
Just reach out and Wake me in the night
Bm A G D
Wake me in the night with a murmur or a touch
Bm A G A
I will quickly show you how I love you oh so much
Bm A G D
Wake me in the night and your fears I'll soon allay
Em A
Hold you tightly in my arms until the break of day
Life is rarely simple, actions can be strange
Keeping your perspective isn't easy to arrange
So if your mind's in turmoil and your fears are taking flight
Just reach out and Wake me in the night
