Tired of Sleeping

Lyrics

[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 [Instrumental Break] [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
