Shouldn't you be sleeping?
It's long past time to seek your bed
Ah, your face it looks so tired,
Your eyes are heavy
Lay back a while and rest your weary head.
Shouldn't you be sleeping?
Shouldn't you be sleeping?
The last of the wine is almost gone
And the moon's an empty gla** above the harbour
And the world is turning to another dawn
Shouldn't you be sleeping?
The stars will all be fading in a while
And the wind is moving soft across the water
Close your eyes and rest,
You've done your mile.
Shouldn't you be sleeping?
There's still so much we didn't say.
But the candle's guttered by a brightening window
Time to blow it out and slip away.
Shouldn't you be sleeping?
