Lyrics It Just Dawned On Me - John Doe, Exene Cervenka

It Just Dawned On Me

You were always there
For the last seven years
Sleepin' in our bed
Restin' your pretty little head
You started sleepin' lighter
And lighter every night
You were already up makin' coffee
By the dawn’s early light
Well, I was happy dreamin' in our happy home
Then I woke up, I was alone
It just dawned on me
You’re gone, you’re gone
An old flame caught your eye
And whispered in your ear
The songs of whiskey dreams
To spirit you away from here
Your mama and your daddy
Slept in a soft feather bed
I hope you wind up in the jail house
With the cement floor for your head
'Cause I’ll be happy dreamin' in our happy home
I’ll wake up, I’ll be alone
It just dawned on me
You’re gone, thank God you’re gone
