Tired Of Sleeping Lyrics

Tired Of Sleeping lyrics

Suzanne Vega

  

  Oh Mum, the dreams are not so bad

  It's just that there's so much to do

  And I'm tired of sleeping

  

  Oh Mum, the old man is telling me something

  His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin

  And I just can't hear what he's saying

  

  Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened

  It's just that there's so much to do

  And I'm tired of sleeping

  

  Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened

  It's just that there's so much to do

  And I'm tired of sleeping

  

  Oh Mum, the kids are playing in pennies

  They're up to their knees in money

  And the dirt of the churchyard steps

  

  Oh Mum, that man he ripped out his lining

  He tore out a piece of his body

  To show us his clean courted heart

  

  Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened

  It's just that there's so much to do

  And I'm tired of sleeping

  

  Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened

  It's just that there's so much to do

  And I'm tired of sleeping

  

  Oh Mum, the bird on the string is hanging

  Bones are twisting and dancing

  She's fighting for her small life

  

  Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened

  It's just that there's so much to do

  And I'm tired of sleeping

  

  Oh Mum, I wonder when I'll be wakened

  It's just that there's so much to do

  And I'm tired of sleeping
