One day I slowly floated away One day I slowly floated away All the war horses wore rubber bands To hide their hooves from sinking sand The commander in charge was hoping that Their destiny was not to die
Wake up in the morning I shall wake up, and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie
Hard to foresee the future Our bodies are growing thin Glimpsing the peeling paint off The nurses ivory chin You've got a lot of nerve coming here Your eyes are beating rhythms way Faster than the speeding bullet that Took the life of your radio
Wake up in the morning I shall wake up, and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie
And in the corner chair Soft and soap-scented My darling cries apologies We foresee the mercy that's been shown My young limbs will not go unthanked or unseen
Wake up in the morning I shall wake up, and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie
