| I’ve been awake too long and I’m wondering why
|
| I have to sell my world for a piece of pie
|
| When everything gets hard, everyone grows cold
|
| You have to wait to die and you’re growing old
|
| I’ve been awake too long and I’m wondering why
|
| I think of all the times you could change your mind
|
| I know my feelings well, least I think I know
|
| And I was quite in love 'cause you told me so
|
| I look around, I see what I think I be
|
| I be a crowd of mystics all in a heap
|
| And so you wore me out and you wore me down
|
| I’m just a worn out shoe with my soul in the ground
|
| And so I slapped your face though my hands were tied
|
| And you’ll be pleased to know now they’re by my side
|
| Here I stand awaiting a loving command
|
| Here I stand awaiting a loving command
|
| Here I stand awaiting a loving command
|
| Here I stand awaiting a loving command
|
| I’ve been awake too long and I’m wondering why
|
| I think of all the times you could change your mind
|
| I see the sun shine through at the memory
|
| And I could cry, cry, cry at the memory
|
| And so you chew me up and you spit me out
|
| You’re face to face with love, I can see the doubt
|
| The conversation too, it was too unreal
|
| Don’t have to tell me, honey, that’s the way I feel |
