The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bees are buzzing in my ear
Birds are singing pure and clear
Oh but I can't stop thinking about you
Creek is running, running high
Trees are burning touch the sky
Much as I try I can't stop thinking about you
An' I can't get up out of this bed
I can't get up out of this bed
No I can't get up out of this bed
For nothing
I've been weeping in my beer
An' I was dreaming you were here
My tears are dry
But I can't stop thinking about you
An' I can't get up out of this bed
I can't get up out of this bed
No I can't get up out of this bed
For nothing
I can't feel my heart anymore
It's as empty as a lie
I can't answer the knockin' at my door
Why can't I?
Time is coming, it's gettin' near
No more sleeping to kill the fear
Oh but I can't stop thinking about you
An' I can't get up out of this bed
I can't get up out of this bed
No I can't get up out of this bed
For nothing
For nothing
