lyrics

(instrumental, cool)

Seven a.m. is when we become strangers again
The day staff arrive with their weather and their opinions
We hand over the ward in a language they don't hear
(they don't hear)
Bed nine is frightened. That's not on the chart.

You write it anyway (write it anyway)
In the margin, in pencil, where they might look

Handover
(handover)
Everything that mattered gets said in the margin
Handover
Then we go home and sleep through the daylight

We walked to the car park together for the first time in March
Full sunlight, both of us squinting like animals
You looked completely different and so did I
(so did I)
Neither of us said so. We just got in separate cars.

I think about that car park more than the eleven months.
Sunlight is a very unfair test of a night-shift romance.
(DRUMS RETURN)

Handover
(handover)
Everything that mattered gets said in the margin
Handover
Then we go home and sleep through the daylight
