Wake Me

(album: Haste Make / Hard Hearted Stranger - 2011)

Like a rock that came rolling down the hill
I've been searching for something to kill
I'm shameless
And I've aimlessly drawn

I wanna lay down somewhere
I wanna close my eyes
I've a good girl waiting
If I ain't back soon, she may be gone

Hmm, mmm, mmm, it's all the same
It's enough to hold her close
But I'm in need of pleasant dreams

So I cried to the doctor
Doctor, please come quick
My world's grown tired and sick
If it ain't fixed, I fear it may fall

I wanna lay down somewhere
Lay down and die
Well, the Doc just smiled and said in a good while
Son, sometimes don't we all

Hmm, mmm, mmm, it's all the same
It's enough to hold her close
But I'm in need of pleasant dreams

Won't you wake me
In the morning light
Wake me
When the morning comes

I ran outside and shout
So loud it shook the earth
So loud it chilled the air and cleared the sky

I wanna lay down somewhere
Down by her side
And I've been going too long to crawl back now
And crumble in her eyes

I see a lock and a key and clock on the wall
And I swear I hear her singing
The air smells sweet
And I do think there's coffee in it

I wanna lay down somewhere
As long as time abides
And with that morning sky above
We can share our love with sleep still in our eyes

Hmm, mmm, mmm, it's all the same
It's enough to hold her close
But I'm in need of pleasant dreams

Wake me
In the morning light
Wake me
When the morning comes

Wake me
In the morning light
Wake me
When the morning comes

Hmmm, mmm, mmm, hmmm, mmm, mmm...
