Bedtime Prayer / Wake Up
The same stars that disappeared just this morning
Have come around to meet me here tonight
And the same sun that left me just this evening
Will warm my cup of coffee with its light
And the same two feet that are tired and worn
Will be fresh again when the day is new
And I will walk down to meet you in the morning
As if I'd nothing else on earth to do
Across the dewy fields there is a fire asmolder
But what's to be revealed, well no one really knows
We call out with our hearts to make us strong like soldiers
But when our faith departs then all that's good is over
We love to drive our cars, escaping our emotion
Will you know where you are when all the gas is gone?
I can't go fast enough to dodge this raging ocean
So I guess I'll just sit tough and let it all wash over me
'Cause you'll always be around and there'll never be enough time
And the devil is always waiting to catch you when you fall
When you've gone on your way, when the celebration's over
What will you have to say to your sweet forsaken one?
You hide behind your telephone like a cricket in the clover
You really think you'll be all alone when this whole thing is over?
See, you'll always be around and there's no such thing as spare time
And the devil is always waiting to catch you when you fall
You've got to feel like a woman
You've got to let your bullshit go
You've got to let your instinct guide you back
to the place you don't want to go
When I think of you I will cry
Because I love you, I will cry
When I see you, I will cry
Right above you I will cry
All around you I will cry
Just to know you I will cry
All through you I will cry
Right below you I will cry
Because I need you, I will cry
I'm right beside you, I will cry
Just to hold you I will cry
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Across the burned-out fields
A green sprout is agrowing
Have come around to meet me here tonight
And the same sun that left me just this evening
Will warm my cup of coffee with its light
And the same two feet that are tired and worn
Will be fresh again when the day is new
And I will walk down to meet you in the morning
As if I'd nothing else on earth to do
Across the dewy fields there is a fire asmolder
But what's to be revealed, well no one really knows
We call out with our hearts to make us strong like soldiers
But when our faith departs then all that's good is over
We love to drive our cars, escaping our emotion
Will you know where you are when all the gas is gone?
I can't go fast enough to dodge this raging ocean
So I guess I'll just sit tough and let it all wash over me
'Cause you'll always be around and there'll never be enough time
And the devil is always waiting to catch you when you fall
When you've gone on your way, when the celebration's over
What will you have to say to your sweet forsaken one?
You hide behind your telephone like a cricket in the clover
You really think you'll be all alone when this whole thing is over?
See, you'll always be around and there's no such thing as spare time
And the devil is always waiting to catch you when you fall
You've got to feel like a woman
You've got to let your bullshit go
You've got to let your instinct guide you back
to the place you don't want to go
When I think of you I will cry
Because I love you, I will cry
When I see you, I will cry
Right above you I will cry
All around you I will cry
Just to know you I will cry
All through you I will cry
Right below you I will cry
Because I need you, I will cry
I'm right beside you, I will cry
Just to hold you I will cry
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Across the burned-out fields
A green sprout is agrowing
