Wake me up when it's over,
Wake me up when it's done,
...

Wake me up when the skies are clearing,
When the water is still,
...

If it were any other day,
This wouldn't get the best of me.

But today I'm not so strong,
So lay me down with a sad song,
And when it stops then you know I've been,
Gone too long.

But don't shake me awake,
Don't bend me or I will break,
Come find me somewhere between my dreams,
With the sun on my face.

I will still feel it later on,
But for now I'd rather be asleep.

This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me

When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walked along
I walked along with you
No wonder I am lonely

My cat died and I quickly poured myself some gin.
Did she die from old age or was it for my sins?
God I loved her oh so much
Miss her little kitty touch
Does she miss me, does she care?
Oh I miss her kitty stare
Do you have a little time?
Would you like to ease my mind;
Talk for hours and never stop
Chop your head off
Be a lighter person
Brighter person nicer
But you've heard it all before

So, ding dong
There's the doorbell. Hello man in white
He's gonna make you all well
Getcha through the night
But hey now,
You don't feel better
As you take your fresh bromide
Maybe this man of letters lied
