Here, Instead

Lord how long have I been ill
How long will I stay still
Laying naked in bed

If I had a bit more time
I'd pour a glass of wine
To ease the ache in my head

But there's dishes needing washed
And stories needing read
There's so much I should do
But I'm lying here instead

How long can I fog my mind
Before I end up blinded
My thoughts heavy as led

There are boys needing kissed
And my body's needing fed
Yeah there's so much I could do
But I'm lying here instead

Oh oh oh

Lord how long have I been sick
How long will I seek fixes that only keep my eyes red
There is money to be made and thank-you's to be said

Yeah there's so much I should do
But I'm lying here, instead

Yeah there's so much I could do
But I'm lying here, instead

Yeah there's so much life to live
But I'm lying here instead
