Testi musica canzoni

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
