Night Shift

I’ll have to work another night shift

I’ll have to work another night shift

I won’t be coming home tonight

You don’t have to worry where the time slips

Only by the night I come to life

Working weekends and the weekday

Working in the darkest of the hours

I’ll take the bus, I’ll take the subway

Whatever gets me to my destination

Fast falls the eventide, it’s Friday night

And I’ve only got to work until the day

I’ve got a message to send back home

Saying that I’ll be working in the nighttime, hey

I’ll have to work another night shift

No chance of coming home at all

3 o’clock has always been a sweet spot

That’s what they call the witching hour

Fast falls the eventide, it’s Friday night

And I’ve only got to work until the day

I’ve got a message to send back home

Saying, Mama, I just had to be away

Fast falls the eventide, it’s Friday night

And I’ve only got to work until the day

I’ve got a message to send back home

Saying, Mama, sorry I had to leave

Mama, sorry I had to leave

So babygirl, I got to leave

Mek sure go straight to your bed nuh badda wait up fi me

Not getting a break until ‘bout quarter to 3

Before me reach home is the sun you gwain see

So tonight, you gonna sleep alone

Cause if you're lookin’ for me in the middle ah night I won't be home

Don't badda send no text, don't try fi call me pon di phone

Working late inna di office mi nuh deh out a street a roam, LORD!

Fast falls the eventide, it’s Friday night

And I’ve only got to work until the day

I’ve got a message to send back home

Saying, Mama, I just had to be away

Fast falls the eventide, it’s Friday night

And I’ve only got to work until the day

I’ve got a message to send back home

Saying, Mama, sorry I had to leave

Mama, sorry I had to leave…
