I wake up in my bed
I stayed out in vain
and once more I drank myself down
my tung’s made of led
I add to my list
just one more cold night in town
and soon it’ll be forgotten
and no one by my side
reminds me, there’s nothing to see
I wake up in my bed, and I wonder
oh lord, lord above, why do you tease me?
The faces descending
Like rain on a window
and let out the sparkles I saw
familiar roads,
familiar cargo,
they lead me there once more
to stand there in the crowd
and wonder why I came,
the lights fading out on me
I wake up in my bed, and I wonder
oh lord, lord above, why do you tease me?
What in the world did you do to tenderness?
what did it do to your eyes?
so the dreams come to fill out the emptiness
I wont get up till its night
and move on again
rolling the stone
convinced that there’s reason behind
my head might be burned
but the night was cold
the sun will be hurting my mind
and soon it’ll be forgotten
and no one by my side
reminds me, there’s nothing to see
I wake up in my bed, and I wonder
oh lord, lord above, why do you tease me?
