It's early morn

the birds are gone

no need to wake up

the bed's so warm

and open wide

there's no one sleeping

at my side





it was the break of dawn

I thought I heard you wrong





the body's here

but the soul's not near

I'm hiding out and yet

I'm still here

It's afternoon maybe

you're OK I bet you'll

be home soon





it was the break of dawn

I thought I heard you wrong

now you've been gone so long

I hope I heard you wrong





If I could go on sleeping for the rest of the year

stare at the ceiling til there's nothing there

avoid my life and unplug my head

and never ever leave this bed





evening comes

sun go down

nothing here but some

distant sounds

and the bed's a cell pull the

blankets 'round and I'll never tell





it was the break of dawn

I thought I heard you wrong

now you've gone so long

I hope I heard you wrong
