Wake-Up Call

(album: Wake Up Call - 1993)

[Mick Taylor (spoken on an answering machine):]
Hi John, it's Mick calling. There's no way I can make this session tonight. It's just too late. I mean, you've known me since I was 17 years old. So, there's a good reason why I can't come

Eleven thirty wake up call
Check out time at noon
With these hours that I keep
Can't get much sleep
So don't make my wake up call too soon

Working past the wee wee hours
Late to every suite that's sold
Try to sing my song
Lord, I've been so long
Searching for that moment of gold

I once saw me a morning
Brighter than a baby's heart
Now that morning seems so far away
And my dreams is coming apart

Eleven thirty wake up call
And my head's about to split in two
See the light of day
Peeking through the shade
Oh, my brain's about to come unglued

Working past the wee wee hours
There ain't no club too small
It's sleeping that I lack
Turning on my back
But it won't be no time at all
Till that wake up call

I once saw me a morning
Brighter than a baby's heart
Now that morning seems so far away
And my dream's just coming apart

Yes, my dream's just coming apart
Sinking with that Tidal Moon
No time to even remember my love
This blue morn is coming too soon, coming too soon
(Much too soon)
With that wake up call
(I ain't ready yet)
Wake up call
(Let me, let me, let me sleep a little while longer)
Wake up call

Just gimme ten more minutes
Ten more minutes please
I tell ya you know we working hard last night
Didn't matter that place too small
We had a good time
Way too soon
