Lyrics
3 A.M.

On those cold nights when I’m all alone
And the sounds from the street
Are a quiet drone
3 am, 3 am, 3 am
Where are you now my love,
Where are you now?

On my tv set people laugh and cry
As the tears in my heart try to reach my eyes
4 am, 4 am, 4 am
Who are you with my love,
Who is that you’re with?

What’s there left to do my love?
I’m in love with you…

As the stars go out
And the fogs crawls in
So do you with your breath
Smelling of cheap gin
5 am, 5 am, 5 am
From the guilt and pain my love,
Who stands to gain?

As I rush to work haven’t slept a wink
On the bus as I ride I begin to think
8 am, 8 am, 8 am
Colder than the night my love,
We don’t even fight…

What’s there left to do my love?
I am through with you!

stunning...
Carla... sweet singing and lyrics... and Andreas, amazing orchestration under her acapella song.

I've always been impressed by anyone who could reverse-engineer a sound bed under a solo melody... this is like a "backwards-table-cloth trick", slipping a tablecloth under an already-set dinner table.

Check it out, all the plates and cups are perfectly in place, and it looks even more beautiful! Awesome work you two!

ttfn,
Drakonis

The power in the minimalism
The production really brings the impact of the vocals front and centre against the wind and the longing quality in the instrumentals.

Super collab. Many thanks,
Doug
