Tired of Sleeping - Suzanne Vega
Oh mom the dreams are not so bad
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh mom the old man is telling me something
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
And I just cant hear what hes saying
Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh mom the kids are playing in pennies
They're up to their knees in money
And the dirt of the churchyard steps
Oh mom that man he ripped out his lining
He tore out a piece of his body
To show us his clean quilted heart
Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh mom the bird on the string is hanging
Her bones are twisting and dancing
Shes fighting for her small life
Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping
