Oh mom

The dreams are not so bad

It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

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

Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking

It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh mom

I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh mom

The kids are playing in pennies

They're up to their knees in money
And the dirt of the churchyard steps

Oh mom

That man he ripped out his lining

He tore out a piece of his body
To show us his clean quilted heart

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 theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh mom

The bird on the string is hanging

Her bones are twisting and dancing
She's fighting for her small life

Oh mom
I wonder when Ill be waking
It's just that theres so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh mom I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that theres 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
