I'm trying to keep busy
Since you left me all alone
I go to work, I see my friends
I get by on my own
But no matter what I do by day, no matter where I've been
When I turn out the lights at night
The ghosts comes creeping in
Chours
A drink after mid-night
Keeps the nightmares away
A drink after mid-night
Holds the thoughts of you at bay
So I fix myself a tall one
Right before I go to bed
A drink after mid-night keeps you out of my head
And every night I lay me down
On my side of the bed
The chill from the empty side is filling me with dread
I can't stand another night of thinking about you
A drink by the bedside what I need to pull me through
Chours
A drink after mid-night
Keeps the nightmares away
A drink after mid-night
Holds the thoughts of you at bay
So I fix myself a tall one
Right before I go to bed
A drink after mid-night keeps you out of my head
