Rude Rude Awakening

(альбом: Can't Hold Back - 1979)

It fell outta my head tonight awoken by a dream
As I was writing this letter to you
It's harder to remember the love that once was you and me

People laughing through the smoke at the party where we met
Well, I was young an' I was broke
We fell in love so quickly I can't remember how it went

Oh, rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye

The days go on the weeks pass by time has got me fooled
The numbers weather and the edges come through
Blurring up the images and those memories of you

Oh, rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye

Oh, somewhere in this room tonight there's a north Atlantic sea
The wind is howling an' the stars are bright
An' I can hear the echo of you calling out for me

The fire burns the smoke is gone I see you now so clear
Reaching out to hold me tight
All alone an' lonely it's the coldest night of the year

Oh, rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye

Oh, rude rude awakening no longer are you by my side
Never thought I'd miss you until we said goodbye
