Wake Up Woman
Wake up woman
It's far too late for dreaming
Your dress needs pressing and your hair needs brushing
And the children are tearful and hungry
Wake up woman
The waves are on the shore now
The trees are falling and the birds are screaming
At the horror of morning on the great wild Huron
And rain, oh rain
Acid and holy, it stings and it rings for the world
And stains, blood stains
Soaking your bedsheets, your sadness is tangled and curled
Wake up woman
The marble's maiden's lowly
The kinsmen hate her and the people scorn her
Through stone she cries for heaven and its lies
And she turns to rain, oh rain
We kneel in the moonlight and beg that she'll go away
But they can't say how much you'll find in the mud and the meadows
Wake up woman
Look outside your window
The streets are filling and the clocks are breaking
The bandits have branded the moon
Wake up woman
It's time to go and pray now
The cards are folding, the earth is sighing
The night is taking
It's far too late for dreaming
Your dress needs pressing and your hair needs brushing
And the children are tearful and hungry
Wake up woman
The waves are on the shore now
The trees are falling and the birds are screaming
At the horror of morning on the great wild Huron
And rain, oh rain
Acid and holy, it stings and it rings for the world
And stains, blood stains
Soaking your bedsheets, your sadness is tangled and curled
Wake up woman
The marble's maiden's lowly
The kinsmen hate her and the people scorn her
Through stone she cries for heaven and its lies
And she turns to rain, oh rain
We kneel in the moonlight and beg that she'll go away
But they can't say how much you'll find in the mud and the meadows
Wake up woman
Look outside your window
The streets are filling and the clocks are breaking
The bandits have branded the moon
Wake up woman
It's time to go and pray now
The cards are folding, the earth is sighing
The night is taking
