Four o'clock and nothing's moving,
Six o'clock and the daylight's stirring,
A Morning comes, must be moving on.
All night long my mind's been burning,
Makes me feel (4)________ a long, long way (5)________ home,

Now ain't it (6)______________ that I feel like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a (7)________________ city
I can't come in from the cold
