Mandolin Orange – Wake Me lyrics

Like a rock that came rollin’ down the hill I’ve been searchin’ for somethin’ to kill
I’m shameless and I’ve aimlessly drawn
I wanna lay down somewhere
I wanna close my eyes
But i’ve a good girl waiting, and if I ain’t back soon she may be gone

Mmmm, if 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”

Mmm if it’s all the same
It’s enough to hold her close but I’m in need of pleasant dreams

So won’t you wake me
In the morning light
Wake me
When the morning comes

Well I ran outside a-shoutin’
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
But I’ve been gone too long to crawl back now and crumble in her eyes

Well I see a lock and key and a clock on the wall
And I swear I hear her singin’
The air smells sweet and I do think there’s coffee made
I wanna lay down somewhere, long as time abides
And with that morning sky above we can share our love with the sleep still in our eyes

Mmmmm if 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
