Ruthie Foster - 4am

It's four am and I'm wide awake in my head
Guitar, suitcase crowding up the middle of the bed
I'm too far away to dream
Not ready for the morning light
It's 4am so play away the night

Somebody told me girl you'd better rest your mind
You keep running that race, you're gonna run
Out of time
Find yourself all alone
Waiting for your life to start
Until it's 4am and you're playing away the dark


Well I pick til I strum, and I hear the drum
Callin up a backbeat til it
Feels like running, and I'm humming
Tapping out a rhythm on a hotel floor
(My) heart starts pumping til it
Feels a little more like flying, and I am at 4am

It's 4am and I can't get out of my head
Staring at the walls and I should be sleeping instead
I'm too far away to dream
Not ready for the morning light
It's 4am so play away the night
