Sunday
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.
Oh no, teacher says
The end is quickly coming near.
I raise my hand to stretch but
Also set the record clear.
But then I fall into a haze
And in my sleep I count the ways.
Oh oh, oh oh...
My heart's so cold.
Oh oh, oh oh,
Afraid to grow old.
I can't, I can't stay tonight..
Wake up, wake up...
Don't follow the light.
Believing everything I read
Has turned my eyes to dust.
Climbing the bookshelves of my mind
I try to readjust.
But then I fall into a haze...
And in my sleep I hear the phrase:
Oh oh, oh oh...
My heart's so cold.
Oh oh, oh oh,
Afraid to grow old.
I can't, I can't
Stay tonight...
Wake up, wake up...
Don't follow the light.
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Attach a letter to your suitcase
On your travels please.
Each word and verse should prove
The madness of your expertise.
I wish you'd fall in to a haze.
If I had my way I'd take your place.
Oh no, oh no...
Your heart's so cold.
Oh no, oh no,
Afraid to grow old.
I can't, I can't
Stay tonight...
Wake up, wake up...
Don't follow the light.
Oh oh, oh oh...
My heart's so cold.
Oh oh, oh oh,
Afraid to grow old.
I can't, I can't
Stay tonight...
Wake up, wake up...
Don't follow the light.
Oh oh, oh oh... (wake up, wake up)
My heart's so cold.
Oh oh, oh oh, (wake up, wake up)
Afraid to grow old.
I can't, I can't (wake up, wake up)
Stay tonight...
Wake up, wake up... (Oh oh, oh oh)
Don't follow the light.
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Got to wake up, wake up...
Please, wake up, wake up...
Got to wake up, wake up...
Please, wake up, wake up...
Got to wake up, wake up...
Wake up, wake up...
Got to wake up, wake up...
Please, wake up, wake up...
Got to wake up, wake up...
Please, wake up, wake up...
