suzanne vega - tired of sleeping (acoustic version) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh mom, the dreams are not so bad
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping

[verse 2]
oh mom, 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

[chorus]
oh mom, i wonder when i’ll be waking
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping
oh mom, i wonder when i’ll be waking
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping
[verse 3]
oh mom, the kids are playing in pennies
they’re up to their knees in money
in the dirt of the churchyard steps

[verse 4]
oh mom, that man he ripped out his lining
tore out a piece of his body
to show us his “clean quilted heart”

[chorus]
oh mom, i wonder when i’ll be waking
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping
oh mom, i wonder when i’ll be waking
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping

[accordion solo]

[verse 5]
oh mom, the bird on the string is hanging
her bones are twisting and dancing
she’s fighting for her small life

[chorus]
oh mom, i wonder when i’ll be waking
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping
oh mom, i wonder when i’ll be waking
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping
oh mom, i wonder when i’ll be waking
it’s just that there’s so much to do
and i’m tired of sleeping
