Big oak table at 3 a.m.
Nothing seems to rhyme
Weak old cut daisies
They don't seem to shine
Smell's getting fainter
Cupboards getting bare
Old dirty sheep dog
sleeps without care
Big old oak table at 3 a.m. again
Big oak table at 3 a.m.
Spinning mind turning like turning bowls spin
Glasses are empty
Bats are getting bold
Trying to be careful
And check out the grain
Tomorrow I think
I'll think clearly again
Big Old Oak Table at 3 a.m. again
You can talk of forever but that's just dead wrong
Let's walk out on ledges cause forever's too long
Big Old Oak Table at 3 a.m.
Tomatoes are rotton
on the window again
This cotton nightgown
Used to make you glow
Fast asleep dreaming
A future I don't know
Count days to get there
And it seems too slow
Big Old Oak Table at 3 a.m. again
Big Old Oak Table at 3 a.m. again
